SATURDAY TOWN CUMBRIA

EVERYDAY IS SATURDAY

Saturday Town comes to Cumbria with Signal Film and Media in Barrow-in-Furness.

Saturday Town is about the powerful, playful language of fashion and how our changing culture can be read through the ways young folks communicate visually.

Saturday Town celebrates youth culture, fashion and self-expression. Photographer Casey Orr has travelled the UK with a pop-up portrait studio, photographing in towns and cities on Saturday afternoons since 2013. Since then she has photographed hundreds of young people, documenting over a decade of major changes in culture, identities and the ways we use our public spaces.

Casey has been in Cumbria with her pop-up portrait studio throughout 2023-24 meeting and photographing young people throughout the region.
