University staff member recognised for collaboration on award winning Bank Top photography project

A Blackburn University group leader collaborated on a global award winning photography project.
University Centre’s Academic Group Leader in Community, Abdul Hafiz, collaborated with Craig Easton on his award winning series Bank Top.
For the project, Craig was named Sony World Photography Awards’ Photographer of the Year for 2021, which marked its 14th anniversary this year.
Craig Easton's photography captured the culture and misrepresentation of the Bank Top area of Blackburn which features the residents and the shopkeepers from different backgrounds and cultures.
Bank Top was also used by Craig in Blackburn’s Kick Down the Barriers exhibition at Blackburn Museum and Art Gallery – an exhibition where local artists and writers worked in and with the communities of Blackburn to redefine the labels of ‘segregation’ and ‘division’.
