Cornwall’s last banger and stock car racing track lies in the village of St Day. One by one tracks are disappearing throughout the UK as the subculture succumbs to a slow decline. For 50 years the track at St Day has been kept alive, through love, devotion and community, but it now faces its toughest test. The Last Raceway tells the story of the track as it faces demolition, a tourist attraction planned in its place. Regardless of its physical fate, this book aims to provide a home for the track, its stories, and its people, in what could be its final season.
We are excited to launch the stunning and dynamic new book ODE by Melissa Schriek, a vivid exploration into the dynamics of female friendship. About ODE"One of the primary motivations for starting ODE was to pay homage, quite literally, to sisterhood and female friendship. Throughout my life, I've been inspired by the power and unity of women, and that admiration continues to grow. The bond and connection that I often witness and experience among women hold significant importance to me. It struck me how this bond is frequently misrepresented in popular media as 'toxic', dramatic, or hostile, and at times, female friendship is overlooked altogether. "In response, I set out to create a photographic narrative that would present a different perspective on friendship, while maintaining authenticity. I photographed numerous pairs of best friends, mostly in public space, aiming to explore the essence of their connections through portraiture, body language and movement. "
