Jeremy Hunter at the Frontline Club: Let's Celebrate 365

On 7th February Jeremy Hunter will be giving a talk at the Frontline Club in London.

Artful and anthropological in equal measure, Jeremy Hunter’s photographs are a snapshot of a world of truly disparate cultures and their celebrations, many of which have remained unchanged for centuries. LET’S CELEBRATE 365 allows us to glimpse the diverse, colourful and sometimes obscure festivals, ceremonies and rituals celebrated around the world.

Hunter has travelled to more than 60 countries in 30 years, collecting images that explore the cultural landscape of the world that may help to create a better understanding of the essential “glue” that binds all societies together.

In this talk Hunter will specifically explore, through their celebrations, the cultural DNA of North Korea, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea and India.

This event will be moderated by Paddy O’Connell of BBC Radio 4’s Broadcasting House and the Frontline Club’s First Wednesday strand.
