10 August 2007

8th August through to 19th September 2007 The Out of Darkness, 40 years of Northern Irish Press Photography exhibition is back by popular demand. Do not miss the opportunity to visit this truly historic exhibition surveying forty years of the Northern Irish Press Photographers Association.

“The range of photographs exhibited by the Northern Irish Press Photographers Association is remarkable for many reasons. Bound together by a common narrative thread – the portrayal of life in Northern Ireland since the 1970s – the photographs are perhaps the more remarkable because they capture moments in an extraordinary passage in the history of Northern Ireland. “

Roisin McDonough, Chief Executive ACNI

The exhibition featuring the work of 63 photographers from the Northern Ireland Press Photographers Association is back after record breaking numbers attended their exhibition earlier this year.Note: a substantially illustrated catalogue of the 'Out of Darkness' exhibition will be available priced £10.00
