Coming up this weekend at Street Level – the Jerwood/Photoworks Awards 5 featuring new work by Roman Manfredi and Sayuri Ichida. Both artists will be giving a talk this Saturday 12th September at 1pm, followed by an opening reception from 2 till 4pm. No need to book, all welcome.

Roman’s work, TRA, speaks to a state of being between, among, and within, an energetic space where masculine and feminine converge and dissolve. Sayuri’s work, 空席 (Kūseki), meaning “empty seats”, addresses Japan’s rapid population decline, with rural communities among the hardest hit.

Both artists received a £15,000 award each with a full package of support from Photoworks and guest mentors to create new work over a 12-month period.

The exhibition launched at the turn of 2026 at Drawing Room and Tannery Arts (London), then across the year at the other partner venues - Barnsley Civic (South Yorkshire) as part of Barnsley Foto Festival; Ffotogallery (Cardiff); and now culminating at Street Level Photoworks (Glasgow).

A terrific opportunity and unique partnership, thanks to Photoworks UK.

Exhibition runs until 20th December 2026.

Aqsa Arif’s ‘Beneath the Surface Is Molten Brown’ and Ayesha Jones’ ‘The Backbone’ have now ended! Here’s our final round-up visitors of the day, including some of their wonderful comments.

“ I live in Glasgow. My medium is dance, movement and the body. I wanted to see Ayesha Jones’ work because it struck a chord with my experience of ill health, and interest in women’s health. I love this photograph because the sitter dares, provokes, says “I will be counted”, “I belong”, “I am”, “I rise and will rise. It is full of determination, power, struggle, defiance. It gives me goosebumps. Beautiful.” - Satya Dunning

“I came from Berlin for a 2 week residency at the Goethe-Institute to work on a textile piece and I was so excited to be introduced to the work of Aqsa Arif. The work is mysterious and interesting.” - Mirae

“ So great to see Aqsa’s work on show in a favourite gallery of mine.” - Kirsten

“We are in town today to visit Ayesha Jones’ wonderful exhibition ‘The Backbone’. I have scoliosis and it’s great to see this condition represented in a gallery. The work shows that each person has their own unique shape and appearance.” - Emma

Our very last visitor of the day for Ayesha Jones: Backbone and Aqsa Arif: Beneath the Ivory is Molten Brown: Laura & Mirae

"I came from Berlin for a 2 week residency at the Goethe-Institut to work on a textile piece and I was so excited to be introduced to the work of Aqsa Arif. The work is mysterious and interesting.
Both exhibtions are stunning and moving. I was also very inspired by the collective strategy of making by Ayesha Jones.

Thanks to Laura, I was able to have a very Glasgow art experience." - Mirae

Visitor of the Day: Severin Carrell, journalist. Lovely meeting with Severin who was dropping some Oscar Marzaroli items for the Oscar Marzaroli - The Marzaroli Collection. They belonged to his father, Chris Carrell, who was the Director of the Third Eye Centre at the time of Oscar's exhibitions 'One Man’s World: Photographs 1955 – 84' in 1984 and 'Shades of Grey' in 1987, which featured an essay by William McIlvanney. Severin's mother was the Scottish feminist artist, painter, and sculptor Rose Frain who passed away in January of this year. He is tasked with not only sorting his dad's items out, but also the considerable archive of his mum...
