Find and Tell: Kelly Shannon on Mininum Cost Housing Group

Kelly Shannon was in residence at the CCA in December 2025 as part of the Find and Tell program to select and interpret material from the Minimum Cost Housing Group fonds, covering a period from the 1970s to the early 2000s.

The Find and Tell program is conceived as a series of residencies in which invited experts are asked to put forward arguments about our holdings by making a significant selection and interpretation of material within an archive or the photography collection. The curated selection can be based on key areas or periods, key projects, or a topical interest the expert thinks should be revealed.
