SPACE: Seminars on Politics, Art, Culture and Entertainment
Two evenings on politics and photography, 9th and 16th September 2014.
The Department of Politics is running a two-part workshop on politics and photography as part of its new SPACE (Seminars on Politics, Art, Culture and Entertainment) series on 9th and 16th September.
This event considers how social documentary photographers look at the world and seek to change our understanding of it through images of struggle and solidarity. The first evening looks at the origins of social documentary photography and its golden age between the 1930s and 1960s. The second examines documentary photography’s turn towards and away from postmodernism since the 1960s.
This event is open to all Birkbeck students and Be Birkbeck members but places are limited and participants must register in advance. Participants are expected to attend on both 9 and 16th September.
