On 7th December 2025 we invited a group of artists and photographers to join us at Turner House in Penarth to create a series of new PhotoRenga. We were delighted to be joined by AJ, Camilla Lovelace, David Sinden and Kate Woodward.

PhotoRenga are visual poems inspired by an ancient form of Japanese poetry, renga, in which sequences of short haiku verses construct complex and profound poems.  The beauty of the PhotoRenga idea is that anyone with a digital camera can take part in the workshops we run, and work together to create beautiful, new artworks.  

Everyone takes photographs and chooses one to pass on to someone else in the group.  You then use that image as the starting point for your next picture, and so on... Chains of images form visual poems or PhotoRenga.  There are no fixed starting points, and the PhotoRenga can go in any direction the groups chose.

You can also see our Turner House PhotoRengas from 2024 and 2023.

If you are interested in taking part in future PhotoRenga please email Kate and David at photorenga@gmail.com
