It is a pleasure to announce that we have been successful in securing funding from the prestigious Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. We are also delighted to be working in partnership with our board advisor, Professor Gil Pasternak of De Montfort University, to deliver an exciting one-day event titled The State of Cultural Diversity in British Photography: Artistic Literacy, Educational Access and Institutional Policies.
While the title may be a mouthful, the subject could not be more important. This event has been developed to create space for photographic organisations, institutions, practitioners, and wider audiences to engage with urgent questions around cultural diversity within British photography.
Hosted online by De Montfort University and BCVA, the event offers an important opportunity to listen, reflect, and contribute to a wider conversation about representation, access, and institutional change within the sector.
More information about the event is available on the De Montfort University website, and the link to book a free place on the event, which will also be recorded, is available here :- https://www.dmu.ac.uk/about-dmu/events/events-calendar/2022/october/british-photography.aspx More details will be available on the full programme here very soon.
