BCVA recently co-hosted the online event “The State of Cultural Diversity in British Photography” in partnership with De Montfort University, bringing together photographers, researchers and leaders from arts organisations to reflect on representation and diversity within the photographic sector.
The event attracted over 300 live viewers, highlighting the strong interest across the sector in addressing questions of inclusion, representation and access within photography and cultural institutions.
Through a series of discussions, speakers shared their expertise and perspectives on the current state of cultural diversity in British photography, while also exploring what changes may be needed to ensure that photographic practice, collections and institutions better reflect the diversity of contemporary society.
For those who were unable to attend the live event, the full recording is now available online here:
