See an illustrative response
The exhibition Small Streets explores ordinary life through photographs of local shops. What impressed me most was the detail: handwritten signs tell stories that the main captions cannot. One drawback is the small print on some labels, which makes them difficult to read in the dim light. Nevertheless, the exhibition offers a fresh view of familiar places. It would particularly appeal to residents interested in how their neighbourhood has changed.
