Instagrammer in Residence

How do you experience the Barbican through your lens?

One of our favourite things about Instagram is having the opportunity to see how our visitors see the Barbican and the surrounding area. From the architecture of the high walks and the hidden corners of the foyers to our installations and performances – there are so many angles to the Barbican that can be captured through the lens that help us learn how you see the Barbican.

We're excited to launch the fourth edition (February–July 2020), inviting emerging Instagrammers from around London to experience life at the Barbican and share their photography on our social channels and also in a digital exhibition throughout the Centre.

Spanning architecture, performance and street photography, we want to celebrate the many aspects of the Barbican and the surrounding area through a range of photographic styles from our Instagrammers.
