Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope is a vibrant photography exhibition by Boston-based photographer Bartosz Fedkowicz, created as part of Transported’s 1000 Faces project.

This exhibition can be found on the first floor in the Reading Room.

Through bold and engaging imagery, Bartosz captures the energy, diversity, and everyday life of Boston, Lincolnshire. His work offers a fresh perspective on the town—celebrating its communities and challenging negative perceptions.

A Fresh Perspective on Boston
Originally from Poland, Bartosz has built a strong local following through his photography, sharing striking images that highlight the character and people of Boston.
The photographs in Kaleidoscope document a wide range of individuals, places, and events across the town. Many of the portraits were created through open calls and community connections, resulting in a truly inclusive and dynamic representation of Boston today.

Part of the 1000 Faces Project
This exhibition forms part of 1000 Faces, a major Transported project creating new public artwork for the regenerated Mayflower Building plaza.
Inspired by the historic carved faces in the choir stalls of St Botolph’s Church, which are thought to represent members of the community over 600 years ago, the project aims to capture a contemporary portrait of Boston. Through photography, drawing, and sculpture, 1,000 local people will be represented.

Kaleidoscope sits alongside On Your Doorstep also by Bartosz, and The Bostonians by Steven Hatton, together forming a rich and varied record of the people who live in Boston today.

Free Photography Exhibition
This exhibition is free to attend, and a great option for anyone looking for free things to do in Boston, Lincolnshire.
Whether you’re interested in photography or local stories, Kaleidoscope offers a unique opportunity to see Boston through a new lens.
