Liveability Photo Spotlight

A central part of the Discovering Liveability project is to explore the idea of ‘liveability’ and what this means to different people.

So, we are launching a photo spotlight...

Asking people to share photographs that they feel express what makes life ‘liveable’ or ‘unliveable’ or that speak to our project title Discovering Liveability. 
You might have seen that we originally started this as a team, sharing photos that we felt spoke to the title of the project or ideas about what ‘liveable’ lives mean to us. Now we’d like to open this up to everyone, our wider networks and collaborators, to share photos that they feel speak about ‘liveability’. 
On a beige background you can see the discovering liveability logo in the top right corner, underneath this in large navy blue text reads 'Liveability Photo Spotlight' and underneath this in smaller text: Share what ‘liveability’ means to you. Underneath this there are graphic line illustrations, ones on the left of two hands holding up an older film style camera and on the right another two hands holding up a phone camera.
