As part of Unearthing Stories, twenty young creatives from Little Green Pig’s after school clubs in Brighton worked with visual artist Eva Jonas to create analog photograph portraits. Using the inspiring site of Saddlescombe Farm, a historic location on the South Downs, the children chose poses to take self portraits that conveyed their imagined characters from Victorian times. From chickens to farm workers, books to old clocks, they chose body language and location to create visuals of these undocumented characters.
