13563376658?profile=RESIZE_400xTom Pearman has been commissioned to create public artworks for Harrow View East, the site of the former Kodak Factory. As part of this project, he is collecting photographs either taken on Kodak cameras or depicting the Kodak Works in Harrow. Selected images will be used in a series of permanent, wall-mounted vitreous enamel panels. During the session, Tom will display a selection of vintage Kodak cameras, including the popular Instamatic range, which was originally developed to make photography accessible to everyone. These cameras will serve as a springboard for conversation and memory sharing.

You are invited to a special workshop with artist Tom Pearman, as part of the Harrow View East public art project. This event is an opportunity for former Kodak Factory workers and Harrow residents to come together, share memories, and contribute to a lasting piece of local heritage.  Attendees are encouraged to bring photographs related to Kodak—whether taken with Kodak cameras or showing the Harrow site. Photographs will be scanned at the event with your permission, or you may send them by email if you are unable to attend.

Can't attend but want to contribute? Email your photos or questions to: tp@tompearman.co.uk
