The new Colyer-Fergusson Gallery space has opened, and is currently hosting an exhibition by Faversham-based photographer, Hope Fitzgerald, entitled ‘#walkSwaleMedway.’

The exhibition runs the length of the first-floor balcony in the Colyer-Fergusson building, and is the first of two satellite events linked to the performance of ‘Tokaido Road’ which comes to the Gulbenkian in May. #walkSwaleMedway comprises fifty-three images, matching the fifty-three prints of Hiroshige’s ‘Stations of the Tokaido Road,’ and explores similar themes of travel and landscape, as a photographic response to walking the area around Medway and the Swale in Kent.

#walkSwaleMedway runs until Saturday 2 May during normal Colyer-Fergusson opening hours, and admission is free.
