REPOST - kirstygmackay Leighanne, 13 Dec, 2023.

I met Leighanne at the drop in centre in South Shields where she was volunteering. I thought I’d be able to collaborate with her son. I planned to give him one of my cameras to take his own photos. He’s 14 and wasn’t interested. I kept going to visit, not taking photos, popping in for a chat & a cuppa.

I only realised last week that Leighanne is my collaborator. She wants to tell her story and we are collaborating on how to do that, what she wants to say, her own words and some of her own photos. The picture of Leighanne’s situation builds slowly with each visit.

Leighanne’s story will be part of The Magic Money Tree - a collaborative photography exhibition, documenting
the cost-of-living crisis, whilst asking the question ‘to what extent is poverty a political choice?’. Funded by opening at in March. There will be a book in Autumn 2024.

REPOST• ‘Kirsty Mackay’s pictures are important. They bear witness to the reality of living in times of hardship and poverty. In a country where there is great wealth for a few, this is a political choice: to support an economic system in which gross inequality is an inevitable consequence. Look at the faces, look at the environments, look at the detail. These are lives of struggle, where choices are limited. To bring up a family in a way we would all wish, to live lives of dignity and security, and with future prospects assured is almost unimaginable for many. Look again at Kirsty’s pictures, it is time we recognised our collective strength and made a few changes.’ Ken Loach

REPOST• ‘I just want to not worry about where my next meal comes from’. I spoke to people using the food bank on Filton Avenue, Bristol.

There is so much shame and stigma around poverty here in the UK. It means that in the midst of this cost-of-living crisis we don’t hear enough from those most effected.

I wanted to take these experiences out to the public, share these stories and allow people’s voices to be heard. I painted their words across bus shelters and pavements on Filton Avenue.

This work comes from a commission from picturing high streets across the city. Many exhibitions and events are coming up in September from a great line up of photographers and artists.

⏰: The Kickstarter for “The Magic Money Tree” launches tomorrow!

REPOST from - My portrait of Dylan, one of the young people I’ve been working with in Knowle West in Bristol. Alongside his self portrait, taken on one of the cameras I handed out.

I’ve been working with this group for the past 9 months. We’ve had the most incredible conversations, made protest signs, talked about finding their voice, the issues they care most about & taken many photos together.

I really like having these two viewpoints. My camera looking at Dylan and Dylan taking up a camera and pointing back to himself and also out into the world.

It’s important this story is told through the voices of the many people I met last year making this work. My photographs sit together with drawings, protest signs, photographs & testimony from my many collaborators. (Too many to list in this post, but more of them soon).

These photos of Dylan will be shown in The Magic Money Tree exhibition opening March 9th
The exhibition will run until July 28th, before touring to other galleries and outdoor venues across the country. I hope you can make it.

Supported by National Lottery project grant. Sponsored by
