Join is as we go the Estorick collection in Islington to see the Naples Photography Exhibition (Siren City by Shand Kydd) If you enjoy street photography or like Italy this is definitely not an exhibition to miss!

'Every street and piazza is a stage, with the Neapolitan people responding to the camera lens in a very unique way. Soldiers strike poses and old ladies reach for their fans with an odd mixture of pride and innocence reminiscent of nineteenthcentury photography, when the camera still had an air of mystery.'

Documenting the city's streets, culture, traditions and people, Shand Kydd was seduced by its contradictory and complex nature – sinister yet humorous, sacred yet profane, theatrical yet real. He observed a darker side to Naples, related not only to its infamous corruption and criminality but also to the city's inherent pagan character. Whilst seeing Naples as a tough, noisy and anarchic city he also finds beauty and a particular light-heartedness which, he argues, can be 'discovered in the detail rather than the overview.'

Admission to the Gallery is £5. We are meeting in the coffee shop that is inside the gallery. Afterwards we will go to the Alwyne gastropub to socialise. Those who went last time will remember the tasty food and comfy sofas!

See you there!
