Radical Visions: Camerawork Revisited
Emerging from the 1970s community arts movement, counter to the prevalent views of photography as a specialist practice, Camerawork was concerned with the medium’s potential to effect social change. Camerawork’s photographers focused on issues unrepresented by the mainstream press. This exhibition reactivates the archives of Camerawork magazine (1976 – 1985), situating its radical approaches to photojournalism within the context of our current social/political moment.

The Blue Skies Project
The Blue Skies Project is an installation of one thousand and seventy-eight peel-apart instant film images of blue skies, accompanied by a 13-year real time tracking audio piece of fading tones. The images were made from 2012–2017 at the last known location of every former Nazi Germany concentration camp. 1078 official concentration camps existed throughout Europe during the Nazi rule in Germany from 1933–1945.
Produced and curated by Monica Allende.
