Anne Hannaford, Director of Arts and Culture at the ¹ú²úÊÓƵ, said: "We are delighted with the response the exhibition has been receiving from visitors with people coming from all over the region to see it. The Hive is one of only a handful of locations nationwide chosen to host this exhibition, which is a huge honour for us.""

This unique selection of 100 images, curated by a panel of renowned photographers and photographic professionals, offers something that will challenge ideas and capture the imagination.
