Unreserved Seat

I started this project just before the Covid Outbreak. I hope to return to it at some point. For now, here are the interviews and photos I have already collected. It was supposed to be a collection of photos and interviews based on Working Mens Clubs (WMCs)in West Yorkshire, a sort of visual and oral history project. I had hope to collect more interviews to include more diversity, but the lockdown stopped it in its tracks. Looking back now, after recent events, it is a reminder of how important these local community places are.

The main idea behind the project was how people in WMCs always sit in the same seat even though they could sit in other places. Other patrons know where everyone sits and rarely do they do against this unspoken “unreserved seat”.
