2025 marks Four Corners’ 50th anniversary. From a film-makers cooperative in a squatted grocer's shop, to a dynamic centre for photography and film, we are proud to have remained close to our radical roots on Roman Road.  

Twenty years ago we reopened the darkrooms and gallery formerly run by our neighbour Camerawork to create a learning, production and exhibition centre. Today we work with people and communities at all levels to explore socially engaged image-making and champion progressive social change. 

Join us in 2025 to celebrate our history and help secure our future. Here’s what’s coming up:  

Work in the Margins: A Film Workshop in East London, 1975-86

Gallery exhibition 13 June - 19 July 2025

A fascinating look at Four Corners’ early filmmaking history. The exhibition investigates the early life of 113 Roman Road: a space for experiments in communal living, collective working, and collaborative filmmaking as part of a flourishing local counterculture. 

The People's Gallery

Gallery exhibition 24 October - 6 December 2025

An exploration of radical community photography in 1970s East London. Part of a flourishing alternative arts scene of poetry, theatre and music, the tiny Half Moon Gallery drew photographers seeking to document working-class lives and people's histories.
