It has been a brilliant opportunity to be involved with the organisation of DARKNESS: A Photography Conference at the School of Digital Arts!
——
Over two days, the conference examined the significance of darkness, proposing to invert our thinking about photography and remind us of the image’s many entanglements and consequences, buried possibilities and repressed impulses. Drawing together artists, researchers, writers, curators, the conference made visible the many resonances of darkness as a necessary subject in approaching photography’s elaborate material, industrial, psychical and social roots and interconnections.
The conference was organised by .photography with an additional exhibition which showcased over 40 international works associated with Darkness - bringing together photographers, artists and SODA MA students.
