SUMMARY
Sophie Green's "Tangerine Dreams: Rituals of Belonging in Contemporary British Life" exhibition, opening at the Martin Parr Foundation, features her vibrant, film-shot images of often overlooked British communities. Over more than a decade, Green has built trust with subjects ranging from banger racers to traveller families, capturing their lives with chromatic generosity. Championed by the late Martin Parr, who reviewed her work before his death, the exhibition also includes Green's photographs of Parr's funeral. Her approach emphasizes long-term engagement and a bold use of color as an ethical stance, documenting communities facing cultural erosion.
