Rejected Exhibition
Rejected is an exhibition celebrating the photographs that never made it onto the gallery wall.
Photographers put time and care into making work and sometimes sadly, it isn't selected for exhibition.
That doesn't mean it's not good.
It doesn't mean the judges didn't like it.
Often, it's simply not the right fit or the right time.
That's why the District Darkroom Collective has secured a public space dedicated to showcasing work on a wall, in real life.
