Station to Station



Station to Station is a celebration of the railways of the South Wales Valleys, and the people that live and work around them. Since 2020, students from our course have travelled the network each year for an intense three-day immersion into the communities residing there. The publication showcases a selection of the outstanding work that has been produced during these assignments.

Station to Station is a nod to David Bowie’s 1967 song and album of the same name, but also to the remarkable history of community engagement by Documentary Photography students past and present. It is a direct descendant of the Newport Survey, a groundbreaking social documentary project undertaken by the course during the 1980s. Find the full publication below, celebrating five editions of the project.
