Across the day, we will consider how photographic and wider visual practices have shaped ways of seeing, remembering and representing communities across generations between the 1980s and today.Across two panel discussions, invited speakers will explore the meanings and afterlives of images, considering how photographs circulate, how they are read, and how they acquire new significance over time in relation to race, gender, sexuality and culture. The discussions will reflect on traditions of self-representation and collective image-making, examining more widely how Black and diasporic communities have created spaces for visibility, authorship and cultural expression through photography, print culture and contemporary artistic practice.Booking essential.Symposium Schedule:The symposium will include a guided tour of the exhibition Ten.8 afterimage led by curator Pelumi Odubanjo followed by two panel discussions with a break in between for lunch.
