She explores how photography and activism can resist misrepresentation and promote agency. Her practice aims to critique the media’s use of clichéd imagery and narratives, highlighting their impact not just on public perception, but on how communities understand themselves.About Francis' project Rough EdgesRough Edges explores themes of class, identity and representation through a deeply personal lens. Born and raised on a council estate in Swansea, Kaylee Francis draws on her lived experience and ongoing connection to the community to offer a counter-narrative to the negative and often clichéd portrayals of working-class life seen in mainstream media.As a child, she longed to leave the estate, internalising the societal judgement attached to coming from areas like hers. But now, as a parent herself, she reflects differently, recognising the strength, warmth, and resilience of the community that helped raise her. Rough Edges captures this shift in perspective, offering an honest and compassionate portrayal of people and places too often reduced to stereotypes.Francis's work challenges the way working-class communities are seen, not just by others, but by themselves. Through photography, she documents the everyday realities and quiet dignity of her subjects, celebrating their value while resisting sensationalism. While acknowledging the disadvantages that exist, she is equally committed to highlighting the joy, humour, and solidarity that define community life.Rough Edges is both a personal act of reclamation and a political statement. It seeks to reshape the narrative through lived experience, presenting an authentic view of working-class life from within.This talk will be held at Elysium Gallery, Swansea.*Funded by Welsh Goverment - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/swansea/ffotogallerys-st-davids-day-feminist-library-special-with-kaylee-francis/100001981858968525 - **Event Categories**: workshops, art, contests - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Swansea - **state**: WA - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Elysium Gallery & Bar - **lat**: 51.62392190000001 - **long**: -3.9416099 - **full address**: Elysium Gallery & Bar, 210 High Street, Swansea, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ffotogallery's St. David's Day Feminist Library Special with Kaylee Francis - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/9d3fd091d530e960337ce2fce97668385ac20f04b69cc94a304d49e1e120c2a2-rimg-w1080-h1350-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1769637724 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ffotogallery's St. David's Day Feminist Library Special with Kaylee Francis being held? - **A:** Ffotogallery's St. David's Day Feminist Library Special with Kaylee Francis takes place on Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 12:00 pm to Wed, 18 Feb, 2026 at 02:00 pm at Elysium Gallery & Bar, 210 High Street, Swansea, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ffotogallery's St. David's Day Feminist Library Special with Kaylee Francis? - **A:** Ffotogallery's St. David's Day Feminist Library Special with Kaylee Francis is organized by Ffotogallery Wales. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
