FOUR CORNERS
Creative expression, education, and empowerment.
Four Corners believes in film and photography for all. As a registered charity, their work builds upon almost 50 years of radical, socially-engaged approaches to photography and film.
Access to the arts is not equal. Four Corners aims to change that. Their training projects enable underrepresented people to gain skills in creative media. 4Cs support artists’ development, work with local communities and engage broad audiences through their cultural programme.
