Voice of the Grain 

Photograph: Basil Al-Rawi

‘Voice of the Grain’ presents the very best of emerging contemporary photography from the long established and highly reputable MA Photographic Studies programme.

The exhibition showcases 23 photographic projects of exceptional quality, imagination and technical skill. The work explores a range of practices, from the philosophical and autobiographical to the political and analytical. Exhibited works incorporate photography, video and installation in a powerful diversity of visual and conceptual display.

A panel discussion titled ‘Voice of the Grain’, inspired by the writings of Roland Barthes (literary critic and theorist), proposes to question and reflect on the subject of muteness within photographs. Chaired by David Bate, the discussion takes place on Friday 7 September at 4pm.
