2013 marks 20 years since Street Level staged the first major exhibition of Baltic photography in Britain, which included work from Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. This current exhibition focuses on photography from Lithuania, including significant work from the 80s and 90s. A critical component is the inclusion of some work by little known artists groups which expressed a postmodern view of the world and a shift from traditional approaches - the Carnavora group, and the mysterious and untypical Doooooris.

Street Level Photoworks, in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut and its partners, is opening the international touring exhibition Willy Römer: Life in the City of Berlin. Photographs 1919 – 1933.
Römer was a Berlin-based photojournalist whose historic photographs documented not only the tumultuous political events of his era – the November Revolution, the abdication of the Emperor, the Spartacist Uprising, mass demonstrations and workers’ strikes, the rise of Nazi militias – but also everyday life in the streets and backyards of Berlin.

This exhibition features the work of three emerging Chinese photographers: Ren Hang, Zhang Kechun, and Zhang Jin.
These three young artists were finalists in the 2011 and 2012 editions of the annual Three Shadows Photography Award. While their photographs present widely varied approaches to the medium both in terms of aesthetic and technique, taken together they present a fascinating glimpse into some of the latest trends in contemporary Chinese photography.

'Nymphaeaceae' is Shah's most recent work and is a collection of portraits of women with Asian, African and Arab heritage living in Scotland.
The title refers to flowering water plants, which are rooted in soil under bodies of water and which bloom above the water's surface. Shah uses this notion, to explore the constant transitional state of her subjects, who float in between their two cultures, one, which they are rooted in, and one, which they inhabit.

The roots of David Peat's photography lie firmly in the classic street photography genre.
Continually inspired by the masters of street photography and their skill at seeing and hunting a meaningful image within a moment in time, Peat has quietly built his own personal portfolio of images during a working life around the world.

How do you capture someone's spirit? The spirit of a community? Of a culture, a country?
These are just some of the questions that the six photographers who have contributed to this exhibition – all of whom come from refugee backgrounds – have been grappling with in the course of Scottish Refugee Council's Spirit photography project produced in partnership with Street Level Photoworks. The project was born from a desire to tell stories about the refugee experience from the people best qualified to do so – refugees themselves.
