LOOK 07 was funded by the Arts Council of England, the Association of Greater Manchester Authorities, Manchester City Council, the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, and Redeye – The Photography Network. The project’s media partners were Associated Press, Metro newspaper, and Manchester Digital Development Agency with funds from ERDF. The culminating event of LOOK 07 was The Democratic Image Symposium (21-22 April, 2007), described below in the section on conferences organised.
Selected Exhibitions & Presentations
2002 Eight images of city life in Buenos Aires, Havana, Mexico City, Santiago de Cuba, and Santiago de Chile, as part of an international group exhibition, New Photography of Latin America and Spain, at the Cervantes Institute, Manchester, which I also curated. The exhibition was sponsored by the University of Manchester, Cervantes Institute, Embassy of Mexico in the UK, and Mexican Foreign Ministry. The project involved the collection, printing, and exhibition of seventy images by fourteen photographers based in the Americas and Europe. I wrote and edited the exhibition catalogue (a copy of which can be provided) and prepared a virtual exhibition showing selected images from the Cervantes Institute exhibition (tinyurl.com/2m8qde)
2003 `Oxford Road Corridor, 1999-2003’. Held as a two-venue event at the Contact Theatre and Kro-2, Manchester between 1st June and 15th September 2003. The exhibition consisted of a series of fifty monochrome and colour photographs documenting multiple visual encounters along the Oxford Road corridor, a major thoroughfare in Manchester. This project directly engaged with the cultural diversity of contemporary Manchester to produce a series of photographs both aesthetically sophisticated in terms of their narrative openness to interpretation but also directly accessible with regard to their concern with registering the human presence in a multicultural urban space. The exhibition was the first sustained photographic representation of Manchester’s globalised urban space and street life at the turn of the Millennium using both traditional and digital technologies.
2004 Digital presentation of ninety-five images selected from my work on Latin American city life, Oxford Road series, and Spanish migration project (see below), Richard Goodall Gallery, Manchester, on February 18. This presentation formed part of a series of presentations by invited photographers organised by Redeye - The Photography Network.

que irse y de los que acaban de llegar' [Comings and Goings:

Work in progress
2003- Migrados. A project documenting immigration to Spain in the context of unprecedented global movements of population in the twenty-first century. Photographs from this project have already been exhibited (see above). The growing body of photographs continues to be exhibited online at: www.JohnPerivolarisimages.com and www.flickr.com/photos/dr_john2005. Three images from the series appear in Sarah Pink, Doing Visual Ethnography (London: Routledge, 2nd ed., 2006) and are discussed therein. Four images from the series accompanied an article by Javier Rangel on the migrant experience titled `Migración y frontera: Los que vuelven de Juan Bustillo Oro’, Revista Universitaria de la UABC (Mexico), 4.56 (2006), pp. 18-25. Another four images accompanied Sandro Mezzadra's article, `Capitalismo, migraciones y luchas sociales', Trasversales (Madrid) 88 (Summer 2008): 33-44. Images from the series appear on Radio 1812, a global event dedicated to International Migrants Day, producing and broadcasting programmes from radios worldwide (tinyurl.com/35b7fw).
Migrados leads directly into the `Left Luggage’ project, which is the next step in my photography of the migrant experience (leftluggage.wordpress.com). An empty suitcase lent for a month each to a series of collaborators. Each one fills the suitcase with objects of their choice and according to the project's key terms. These are:
Homeland
Journey
Arrival
Destination
`Left Luggage’ comprises photographs of the project collaborators, the objects they have chosen, and accompanying texts.
