The Listen Local Photography Collection is a part of our Open Photography Collection. It is mainly, however, a supporting collection of our Open Music Collection, particularly that of the Listen Local Music programme. This is an ongoing project.

The aim of the collection:

  • Document contemporary and historic music scenes and ecosystems.
  • Provide at least one Free Cultural Works for encyclopedias, music resources, blogs, website about artists, musicians, musicologists and key persons in music scenes.
  • Aim to include some high quality works of photographers to promote portrait and stage photography.
