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 event series comprises talks on contemporary Irish photography, proposing to explore the key events, exhibitions and practices that have shaped contemporary Irish photography from the 1990s to the present.
The event brings together photographers, academics, curators, and professionals from the creative and cultural sectors to discuss significant developments in Irish photography over the last 30 years. These include the identification and legacy of milestone events such as photographic exhibitions or publications; the role of institutions in shaping Irish photographic culture; the development of photographic education in Ireland; the impact of global photography/art movements on Irish photography; and the influence of Irish cultural politics on emerging photographic practices.
This event is convened by Justin Carville in collaboration with PhotoIreland.
