Led by Susan Bright and Val Williams

Friday 15 June 2007, 10.00–17.00

From the family album to fine-art practice, how can we understand the history of photography in Britain? How is photography used to document a nation and understand identity? How have artists, historians, satirists, inventors and reporters used the medium and resulting archive to understand the world that surrounds them? This study day looks at the different types of activities and practices that record everyday life, and brings together artists and historians from the current photographic exhibition as well as others to discuss the intricate and varied landscape of contemporary and historic photography in this country.
