Photography, Partition and After: Photographies and Histories of Ireland in the Short 20th Century
In the context of the 13th edition of PhotoIreland Festival, which proposes a conversation ‘On the History and Practice of Photography in Ireland’, a series of Think Tanks are being hosted to tease out the complexities of the History as much as of the discipline.
The Think Tank proposes to explore histories of photographic practices, technologies, exhibitions and archives from 1910 to 1990.
Open conversations and discussions are welcomes that can be focused on the historical or sociological aspects of photography and its uses, photographic forms and aesthetics, institutional uses of the photographic image and their archivisation, as well as discussions addressing the cultural politics of the photographic image in state formation from the period of partition alongside papers that explore hidden or unexplored histories of photography throughout the twentieth century.
This workshop is convened by Justin Carville in collaboration with PhotoIreland.
