Community Photography in the 1970s
Thursday, 27 September, 2018

Our central concern in photography is not ‘Is it art?’ but, ‘Who is it for?’
Jo Spence, ‘The Politics of Photography’, Camerawork Issue 1 (1976)
How did community photography work in practice?
Join us for a lively discussion with Judy Harrison, Janine Wiedel and Philip Wolmouth, three documentary photographers whose work engages with issues of community and representation.
