Together On The Floor

Honing in on local nights, and independent venues ‘Together On the Floor’ made across dance floors in the North West situates itself in a wider lineage of nightlife photography which takes seriously the experience of people on a night out. As the dancers in the images cling to each other in their best dress while outside the dancefloor the United Kingdom experiences an ever-increasing rise of the cost of living and political turmoil, the project poses the coming together of people as a holy holy activity, and invites you to see it so too.

The poem displayed below is from an ongoing collaborative relationship between Sasha Shuttleworth and Kerim Kaylon, ;In The Heart of The Recession’ 2023 is a record and a prayer created out of a sense of desperation to not forget in easier times the devastation created by fourteen years of austerity.

Together On The Floor is a live Project, updated and exhibited as it grows.
