May: Moments in Monochrome by Michael Gilroy
Michael Gilroy is an award-winning filmmaker who began exploring street photography in 2020. What started as a hobby quickly evolved into a compelling visual practice, resulting in a striking body of work that captures humour, poignancy, and the sublime in everyday street life — particularly on the streets of London. His storytelling instincts, honed through filmmaking, bring a cinematic quality to his photography, where each frame suggests a narrative waiting to unfold.
Michael is a three-time winner of Smart Shots in Black + White Photography Magazine, and his work has been featured by Leica Camera USA. Embracing the unpredictability of the streets, he thrives on the spontaneity of the unknown, turning ordinary encounters into memorable visual moments.
June: DRAWING GREEN LANES by Martin Hoare
Martin Hoare is an artist based in Turnpike Lane, his work focuses on the landscape of Haringey. He is particularly interested in elements of text which form the visual language of the urban landscape. His work looks at the daily encounters with the people we pass on the street. Working primarily within drawing, with ink pens but also using acrylic, gouache and spray paint, Martin mixes these together in multi-layered drawings.
His current project is Drawing Green Lanes, the one-mile section of the road between Haringey Green Lanes Station and Turnpike Lane underground station, with the aim of making a series of drawings that includes every shop along this one-mile section of the road. There are a lot of drawings still to be made.
