A Visual & Sonic Journey
The "Charity Shop DJ Picture Show" was a traveling exhibition that combined photography, film, and music to celebrate the rich tapestry of community life and the shared love of music. Curated by artist Andy Jupp, the project showcased images and stories collected during his journeys, capturing the essence of everyday moments and the cultural significance of music in people's lives.
Jupp's philosophy centred on the belief that art should be democratic and accessible. He emphasised the importance of presenting art in familiar, everyday settings rather than traditional, sterile gallery spaces. By doing so, he aimed to keep culture rooted in the experiences of ordinary people, celebrating the vibrancy of local communities.

The exhibition featured photographs taken during Jupp's travels, often accompanied by screenings of experimental and eclectic films sourced from various cultures. This multimedia approach created an immersive experience that invited audiences to engage with the stories and sounds that shaped their communities.
The "Charity Shop DJ Picture Show" served as a testament to the power of music and storytelling in fostering connections and understanding across diverse backgrounds. It highlighted the beauty found in everyday life and the shared human experiences that unite us all.
