Pinhole camera workshop with Niki Gandy

The Exchange

Niki Gandy, Ikon Artist in Residence at HMP Birmingham (2025-26), reflects on her recent collaboration with prisoners, exploring exposure to light and its impact on vitamin D and circadian rhythms.

After the talk, Niki will lead an outdoor workshop where you can create your own image using a pinhole camera – a tiny, lens-free camera that captures images with natural light.

Waiting for the Fold is currently on display at the Library of Birmingham as part of What Are the Odds? Ikon Creative Health which explores the role of art in supporting health and care systems.

Presented as part of Healing Arts Week Birmingham (22 – 26 June 2026)
