  • Shaping communities through photography and design, with Damla Turgut and Gareth Gardner

    Shaping communities through photography and design, with Damla Turgut and Gareth Gardner
    Apr 25 2024
    We each have a unique relationship to London that depends on where we live, work and play. In this episode, we explore how our relationship to the city - from the chaotic to the classic - is shaped by photography and design, and the importance of collaboration across communities. Host Eliza is joined by Damla Turgut (Founder, Otto Tiles) and Gareth Gardner (Photographer and Gallerist) to talk all things photography and design, and how the practices both mirror and mould our relationship to the built environment. Otto Tiles and Gareth Gardner Gallery are collaborating on a series of workshops and exhibitions taking place in June, during the London Festival of Architecture. Head to the LFA website to sign up or find out more. To explore Damla's work and browse products, you can visit the Otto Tiles website.
