“The Image of Public Space”

How does urban photography engage with and shape our understanding of public space? Join photographers, artists, architects and academics for a one-day symposium exploring how the theories and practices of urban space inform and shape our relationship to image-making. Contributors will engage with the idea of the public realm through a range of photographic practices and visual methodologies, the poetics and politics of architectural space, and contested sites of memory and memorialisation.

Speakers include: Victor Burgin (Keynote), Paul Halliday, Karen Wells, Bridget Smith, Mark Pimlott, Paul Goodwin, Caroline Knowles, Diego Ferrari, Gil Pasternak, Stephen J Morgan, Melanie Manchot and Alison Rooke.
