Held on Saturday, July 11, it features images created through community workshops led by Suffolk photographer and filmmaker Julian Claxton.
For more than a decade, Mr Claxton has visited Uganda annually to deliver photography training and storytelling workshops using recycled photographic equipment.

The Fotograf workshops empower young people in rural communities to express themselves through visual storytelling and develop practical photography skills.
His work began following a 5,500-mile cycling journey from Suffolk to Rwanda in 2012, where he connected with East African communities who later helped shape the Fotograf project.
Fotograf uses photography and storytelling to empower young people through creativity, education and visual communication.

By recycling photographic equipment and delivering hands-on workshops, the charity promotes self-expression and skill-building while helping participants share their personal experiences through imagery.
The exhibition will be open from 10am.

Visitors will be able to meet Mr Claxton, hear more about the impact of the project and the stories behind this unique collection images on display to gain an insight into everyday life in rural Uganda.
The event will also feature a nostalgic “Snail Mail Postcard Service,” inviting guests to choose a postcard, write a message and send it the traditional way.
At 11am, Mr Claxton will lead a free beginner’s photography workshop, offering tips and techniques for getting the most out of your camera.
The session is open to all and designed to boost confidence and answer questions in an informal setting.
Spaces for the workshop are free, but must be booked in advance via the charity’s website.
