Cephas Williams has had two very different experiences in shopping centres recently - but they are, on one level, intimately linked.
Last week, the photographer launched a major exhibition of 116 giant portraits - of poets and professors, entrepreneurs and social workers - in the Arndale Centre in Manchester.
He has turned the mall into a makeshift art gallery for his Portrait of Black Britain project. A highlight of the city s international arts festival, it s an attempt to counter the inadequate representation of the black community.
