On 12th January 2025 artist Kristina Nenova worked with the public to explore the new CEE Notts Capturing Shadows photo archive, and think about how we preserve dispersed narratives. Participants pickled vegetables, an act of homecoming and nurture for the future self; before selecting photos from the collection to be pickled in a new display in the First Art shop window.
Kristina speaks about the significance of pickling


The pickles have been stored in a dark cupboard ever since. We encourage the public to engage with the archive, which is displayed at select events throughout the year. Please see our what’s on page for details, or contact us if you wish to discuss featuring the archive at your event or site.
