Museum After Hours - Film Night: Tish

Held at Guernsey Museum’s Frossard Theatre, enjoy a screening of Tish, a moving documentary about renowned British photographer Tish Murtha.

Synopsis 

Tish Murtha was a visionary photographer committed to documenting the struggle and inequality of the working-class communities that framed her upbringing. Her archive of work from Northeast England and London’s Soho in the 1970s and 1980s is lovingly realised in this exploration of the legacy of her work and private life.

In this feature documentary we follow Tish’s daughter, Ella, as she opens her mother’s archive for the first time on screen to reveal a treasure trove of unseen images, artefacts, letters, and diaries. Ella takes to the road to meet people who knew Tish and ask why she did not receive more recognition in her lifetime.

Private view of the Paul Reas: Fables of Faubus

The evening will also include a private view of the latest exhibition at Guernsey Museum by acclaimed photographer Paul Reas. Paul Reas was born into a working-class family in Bradford, UK. Leaving school at the age of 15, he trained as a bricklayer for five years, before leaving to study documentary photography at the Newport College, Wales in 1982. His latest exhibition “Fables of Faubus”, produced in partnership with the Guernsey Photography Festival, tells the story of the British working class in six different chapters.
