24.01.2022 This is a great format for an online collaborative resource, and an example of institutions taking the contributions of young people seriously.

20.01.2022 "I like this work. It’s simple, clear, and it doesn’t overstate its claim for collaborationrefreshingly, given the current trend for calling so much traditionally made work collaborativewhile thoughtfully addressing the ways in which the subjects are already sharing themselves." Gemma-Rose Turnbull discusses Kirsty Mackay's developing project The Fish That Never Swam.

17.01.2022 In this interview, originally produced by Matt Johnston for Coventry University module Picturing the body (#picbod), Johnston and Ben Krewinkel discuss the project A Possible Life; Conversations with Gaulbert in which Krewinkel co-authored a documentary about identity, memory and documentation of an undocumented person.

16.01.2022 Gemma-Rose Turnbull and Anthony Luvera have created the MA Photography and Collaboration at Coventry University, a flexible residency course focused on collaborative photographic practice, due to start early next year. Open to students from a range of backgrounds and professional disciplines, this course has been designed for photographic practitioners, but it is also appropriate for people wanting to work with photography, community, and collaboration in other ways.

13.01.2022 Anthony Luvera's Collaborative Self-Portraiture series, Let Us Eat Cake, an exhibition of photographs created over a nine month period by the artist and LGBTQ+ people living across Northern Ireland, opens at Belfast Exposed Photography Gallery this week. Luvera's introduction is shared on the website, explaining the process of making these portraits.

13.01.2022 The new MA Photography and Collaboration which Anthony Luvera and Gemma-Rose Turnbull wrote for Coventry University is now online, and open for application. Open to students from a range of backgrounds and professional disciplines, this course has been designed for photographic practitioners, but it is also appropriate for people wanting to work with photography, community, and collaboration in other ways, such as activists, community organisers, social workers, educators, c...ultural institution and gallery-based engagement, and education programme managers. Through an immersive blend of independent research, critical analysis, intensive practical delivery, and self-directed experiential learning, the MA Photography and Collaboration provides a unique opportunity to explore practical, ethical and representational issues involved in working within the dynamic field of collaborative photographic practices.

06.01.2022 I love this old video of Wendy Ewald being interviewed: "Her tone makes clear that this question about the composition of her practice has been asked many times and that there are no easy answers. Well, she pauses, I used to resist this question a lotI never studied education, I took one education course in college and dropped out. So I guess you could say by training I’m an artist, or a photographer. I think what I did really, or do, in a sense, was use my practice as a photographer and artist as education Gemma-Rose Turnbull

06.01.2022 "While so many socially engaged participatory art projects put the emphasis on the creation and making of the artwork, Inside Out is about getting those images out into the wild. It is more visual activism than participatory art." Tiffany Fairey interviews Marc Azoulay, manager of JR's Inside Out project.

03.01.2022 Answers Without Words is a collaborative photo project by artists Anke Schüttler, Roshani Thakore, and the Free Mind Collective that engages photographers and prisoners in a visual exchange. They are currently looking for artists and photographers to respond to the questions, and are focused on those people located in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Poland, Israel and North Korea particularly, but are interested in collaborators anywhere in the world. (See details in the post.)

03.01.2022 Each of the publications for the socially engaged Culture Shifts photographic projects, produced by Elizabeth Wewiora for Open Eye Gallery, have been shared to the site, and are available for download.

03.01.2022 Hanul Bahm wrote a thorough review of the Magnum Foundation’s Photography Expanded symposium on Collaborative Approaches to Creative Documentary Practice. Bahm’s overview is worth reading in full, but it is her conclusion that is perhaps the most vital reflection, so we've shared it with her permission.
