Milton Keynes Gallery will be hosting an exhibition dedicated to the works of acclaimed photographer Paz Errázuriz.

The first UK solo exhibition of Chilean photographer Errázuriz will present over 170 works in colour and black and white from the 1970s to the present day, with the photographs part of the Hidden Realities of Chile collection.

Paz Errázuriz: Dare to Look is open 19 July – 5 October 2025 at MK Gallery.

Errázuriz took her camera onto the street during General Pinochet’s dictatorship that ruled Chile from 1973 to 1998.

The photographs recorded prohibited subjects and breaking regulations and curfews imposed by the military regime.

In 1981, she was also one of the founding members of Chilean Association of Independent Photographers – providing a network of support to help distribute ‘unofficial’ images. Errázuriz often spends months or years within a community, building trust and getting to know her sitters before creating her work.

Often working in series, her photographs include men and women in psychiatric institutions, trans communities, sex workers, individuals sleeping unprotected in the street and the Kawésqar, an indigenous group whose culture and language are under threat. Other series feature circus workers, protesters, boxers, wrestlers, children and elders and dancers.

Errázuriz’s work can be seen in important international collections including Tate, MoMA, New York, the Guggenheim and Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid. She has received various national and international prizes, including the PhotoEspaña Prize in 2015, the year she also represented Chile at the Venice Biennale. In 2014 she received the Pablo Neruda Order of Merit, the highest cultural and artistic recognition given by the Chilean government.

This exhibition has been organised by Colecciones Fundación MAPFRE, in collaboration with MK Gallery.

MK Gallery said, “We would like to thank the Anglo-Chilean Society and the Chilean Embassy, London, for their generous support and guidance.”

MK Dons Head Coach Paul Warne said he felt the team’s 0-0 draw with Grimsby was a sign that the team was continuing to develop positively.

Warne spoke after his side’s 0-0 draw with the Mariners at Stadium MK, in a game where the Dons had a decent array of opportunities.

On reflection, Warne said he felt the team’s work was showing that they were taking on board his methods while still thinking there were things to develop.

He said, “It was a step in the right direction. I thought we were a lot better in the final third today – we had more shots, attempts on goal and looked more of a threat on set pieces. I was pretty pleased with that and we defended really well.

“It just felt like one goal would then explode the game as in the other team would go for it a bit more. We were trying to go for it and did everything we could. The pace of the game, I prefer it to be quicker but I don’t make any excuses.”

A note of significance for the game was the final appearance at Stadium MK for Dons captain Dean Lewington, who announced his retirement and the end of a 20+ year playing career earlier this month. Warne praised Lewington both for his long-term legacy with the club and his performance on the day, and said the team’s performance was worthy of helping sign off with a win.

He said, “When Lewie came off, it was like, everyone was pretty emotional and I know that moment myself from when my career ended. So it was fitting possibly we kept a clean sheet, it was just disappointing we didn’t get a win for him.

“Lewie was excellent. Everyone’s knows what a good player he’s been and everyone has been speaking highly of him and so they should – he can pick a pass, he’s a real competitor and I asked the lads to leave everything out there for him, and I think the lads did. So in that respect, I’m really proud of the group.”

Warne said that the project was try to develop the club back towards the level it was at when it reached the Championship in 2015 and that work had begun to see what the team needed to progress next season. He also saw play-off chasing Grimsby as a benchmark.

He said, “Every set of fans wants to see goals and wins. I’m not saying it’s a sleeping giant but I have seen it in great nick when it was in the Championship and seen it really packed, and it’s our job as coaches and players to put on a show people want to watch.

“First and foremost, people want to watch winning teams and it’s our job. It’ll be our job to change what we think we’ve got a bit of a dearth of. I think we need some pace in the team if that’s available.

“I thought the fans were really positive today in fairness. I’d like to think anyone who came today saw a group of players who gave their all trying to win the game and it wasn’t to be. But in fairness the opposition are trying to get in the playoffs – I think before the game started, they were 7th, and I’d like to think we can finish above 7th next year. That’s why we’ve come here. If that’s the benchmark, I thought our lads performed really well.”

Milton Keynes City Council have asked for residents’ contributions to help map out a long-term financial strategy.

The City Council outlined its long-term financial stability strategy last week, which is intended to manage the ongoing financial pressures it faces, which includes a projected revenue budget shortfall of £32 million over the next three years.

The “Changing because we have to” strategy was published last week, which outlines plans by the City Council to manage finances in the 2026-29 financial period.

In a press release, the City Council said the revised strategy was intended to map out a revised future for the organisation. They said, “The new strategy sets out how the city council intends to become even more productive, improve the impact of its services, and do more in partnership with other organisations.”

Residents can provide any feedback on the strategy by 14 May by emailing [email protected]. A decision to adopt the strategy is planned for Tuesday 3 June.

Cllr Lauren Townsend, Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Finance and Resources, said, “Milton Keynes City Council is a well-managed and financially stable council, but our outlook remains challenging especially as we manage high levels of need for social care and homelessness support. Our new strategy is necessary so that we can continue to balance our budget and provide essential services that local people value.

“Whilst nationally, many councils have had to rely on temporary emergency financial support from the government, Milton Keynes City Council continues to take proactive steps to avoid being in such a position.”

Northampton’s final away match of the season saw them beaten 3-0 by Crawley Town as the home side kept slim hopes of survival alive.

Goals by Rushian Hepburn-Murphy, Jeremy Kelly and Kamari Doyle won the game for the home side, with Northampton unable to get themselves a final away win of the season.

Victory looks to be in vain for Crawley, as Burton Albion’s last minute winner against Cambridge means the Brewers are three points clear of both Crawley and Bristol Rovers but with a goal difference advantage in excess of ten and with a game in hand. Burton would confirm their survival with a point against Wigan in their game in hand on Tuesday.

As for the Cobblers, who confirmed their own survival on Easter Monday, they sit 18th with one game of the season to go, though they would be leapfrogged if Mansfield manage a surprise win away at league champions Birmingham City.

Knowing they needed a win, Crawley began on the front foot with Liam Fraser shooting just wide in the early stages.

Toby Steward denied Cameron McGeehan in Northampton’s first opportunity of note, before the home side took the lead in the final minutes of the first half.

Hepburn-Murphy received a pass from Panutche Camara, before drilling a low shot that beat Lee Burge.

Just after the break, Kelly saw a strike deflected onto the bar by Terry Taylor, with Dara Costelloe denied on a Cobblers break.

A second goal from the home side looked likelier, however, with Burge denying Hepburn-Murphy and the scorer of the first half goal seeing a later strike blocked.

Crawley would make it 2-0 with just under 25 minutes to go, as Kelly placed a finish into the back of the net beyond Burge’s grasp.

Substitute Doyle would grab a late third for the home side, which confirmed victory for the Red Devils and left them hoping for positive news from the Pirelli Stadium after Cambridge had scored a late equaliser.

It wasn’t to be for the hosts, however, as news filtered through of an injury time winner for Burton, in a result that sent Cambridge down and leaves Burton close to confirming survival.

For Northampton, the Cobblers were left to lick their wounds as they left Sussex a beaten side.

Northampton’s season ends next Saturday when they host Wigan Athletic in the final match of the campaign.
