Photography and Queerness

About

The Photography and Queerness study afternoon will address some of the evolving issues around photography and ‘queer' lives as they change and are depicted over time. Speakers will give presentations from their individual perspectives as photographers, theorists, and photography subjects. The event will engage with the transformative potential of photographic portraits of ‘queer' subjects, ‘queering' the gaze, photographing ‘queer' communities, and self-identification and subjectivity in making photographs that ‘queer.' Confirmed speakers include Grace Lau, Sunil Gupta, Bruno Ceschel, Ope Lori and Richard Sawdon-Smith. The event is programmed by Dr Sara Davidmann as a UAL Gender and Sexuality Research Hub event. Date: Tuesday 21 May, 1.30 — 5.30pm Venue: The Swedenborg Society, 20 — 21 Bloomsbury Way, London WC1A 2TH Open to all. Seats allocated on a first come, first served basis.
