Workshop: (re-) trieved, covered & sourced (Archives Under Surveillance)

In a workshop that embraces ubiquitous photography, artist and Photography Studies College lecturer, Joseph Blair, and Future Anterior co-curator, Madeleine Sherburn, invite participants to explore the expansive realm of the ‘archive’ and its potential within a new-photographic context.

This session aims to uncover new modes of image-making beyond conventional methods, prompting participants to craft visual narratives from the wealth of materials available in our image-saturated environment.

Blair will share his experiences working within this framework and explore the ethics, processes and considerations required for working with such mediums. Participants will create a small series using found/sourced images (from either the participant’s or supplied archive), re-contextualised through sequencing, or reworking images entirely with digital process.

Please note: Participants are required to bring a usb stick of their own source materials (imagery) to use.
