 CROSSING THE BRIDGE

We toast the installation of a series of portraits from the Crossing The Bridge project at Lux Cafe at CoCA. The Crossing The Bridge short film will be shown, followed by a discussion of the project with photographer Petra Mingneau and participants from the Ashburton Community included in the exhibition.

Crossing the Bridge is a Project carried out by Anthropologist Sophie-Claire Violette, Photographer Petra Mingneau, Videographer Vanesa Paredes and Producer Lucy Holland. It focuses on migrants and their experiences integrating into a new community and creating a sense of belonging while negotiating their own identities in different communities.

The project was exhibited in Ashburton at Baring Square East, in the form of multidimensional public art exhibition which brough together photography, film and individual narratives. Eight portraits from the series are now being exhibited at Lux Cafe at CoCA.
