Sarah Hopkins Photography exhibition at U.R.B.A.N -21-22 John Frost Square

Unfamiliar Newport - “no such thing as ordinary”

An exhibition of colour and monochrome photographs of Newport, taken by Sarah Hopkins during 2011, that catalogue a series of images showing the City in a new (or rediscovered) light. 

It’s all too easy to miss what’s right under your nose, or above eye level – these photographs are witness to the fact that there’s no such thing as “ordinary” with even the smallest detail being worth a second look. 

Newport is variously described as “lively”, “gritty”, “downbeat” (Rough Guides) – these pictures prove the first two descriptions accurate, but definitely not the last – hope you enjoy them, and motivate you to find your own extra-ordinary details hidden across the City.

Exhibition will open Tuesday 15th November and run until Tuesday 6th December 2011.
