Make Yourself at Home:

Stories from Bradford

13 September to  20 December 2025

Make Yourself at Home: Stories from Bradford weaves together rich archival material and newly commissioned photography to present a vibrant portrait of life in Bradford. The exhibition reflects on Bradford’s dynamic cultural landscape and celebrates the enduring communities at its heart.

Photographs from Bradford Family Album can be seen in the exhibition alongside five new photography commissions offering a contemporary portrait of the district. Five photographers, Anselm Ebulue, Tori Ferenc, Laura Mate, Nathan McGill and Karol Wyszynski, were selected from an open call to explore the idea of ‘family’ in Bradford, producing new bodies of work which accompany the many stories and experiences found throughout Bradford Family Album.

Make Yourself at Home is curated and produced by Impressions Gallery and New Focus: Bradford Young Curators. Commissioned by Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
