Hidden Manchester, Andrew Brooks
Iconic buildings and prominent landmarks dominate the character of any city. However, beneath the surface of these modern urban landscapes, there lies a hidden world of concealed spaces that hint at past glories, forgotten ideas, and distant hopes - the strata of the city.
In this much-loved exhibition, photographer Andrew Brooks alongside curator Andy Brydon investigated Manchester’s hidden depths, documenting their findings to present the voices of the hidden city’s custodians amidst an ethereal and apocalyptic vision of the city captured by Brooks’ lens.

Sugar and Spice, Rachel Adams
A pilot project for The Modern Lesbian saw Rachel Adams and Andy Brydon documenting the biggest health and wellbeing event for lesbian and bisexual women in the UK at the LGF’s 4th annual Sugar and Spice event.
On International Women’s Day Adam’s set up an experimental pop-up, open-air studio in Sackville Gardens at the centre of the wider event. More than 50 women took part helping to shape the direction of the larger project and highlighting the complexity of modern lesbian identity.
