No Ordinary Time was an online exhibition to mark Black History Month in October 2020 - produced for Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield.
‘2020: the start of a new decade, for many a chance to refresh, reset and renew. Instead we find ourselves battling two deadly global pandemics – COVID-19; and systemic racism.
This digital exhibition captures life for the African-Caribbean community in Kirklees during this incomparable time and asks what the lasting impact of 2020 on our communities and young people will be.’
No Ordinary Time was produced by Lawrence Batley Theatre with images by Huddersfield-based photographer Vinny Tyrell. The exhibition explores race, power and trust through documentary photography taken in Kirklees during the easing of lockdown in Summer 2020.
Vinny Tyrell is a photographer living and working in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
After graduating from The University of Huddersfield with a degree in Interior Design, she picked up her first DSLR in 2015 keen to explore her creative vision in new ways. With the ambition of turning her passion project professional, she has found her own photography style through avid self-study and continually challenging herself creatively.
