Critical Contemplation: On Collaboration will be held at Photofusion in Brixton. This event, held in celebration of the launch of the new MA Photography and Collaboration programme at Coventry University, will bring together a range of speakers for an evening of discussion and debate around the role of collaboration in contemporary photographic practice. Together we will consider the spectrum of uses ‘collaboration’ can have, ranging from social practice, participatory workshops, or as a way of describing new ways of working between subject and photographer. The term is often used to reflect a current trend in creating ‘ethical’ imagery, but at what point does ‘collaboration’ become misappropriated to describe something more problematic? The evening will be chaired by Anthony Luvera and the speakers include Edmund Clark, Janice McLaren and Adrian Wood.
