UH Galleries are delighted to present We English by British photographer Simon Roberts. This touring exhibition from the National Media Museum, Bradford is the result of an English road trip in search of national identity and people at leisure.


During 2007–2008, Roberts travelled the length and breadth of England with his family in a motorhome, photographing people playing, relaxing and revelling in the country’s richly varied landscape. Gathered together as We English, his works are an intriguing and lyrical, personal exploration of the nation. Roberts’s project reflects the strong heritage of British landscape and documentary photography.
