Fabricating Fictions & Cranky and Resistant - Talks by Dr Philip Harris & Gemma Marmalade

Date: February 4, 18:00-20:00
Location: Arts Commons

Dr Philip Harris, program leader for BA (Hons) Photography at the University of Derby, UK, in Fabricating Fictions: A Critique of Photographic Conventions and Their Assumed Authority will discuss a number of projects and his rationale for (mis)using obsolete cinematic media as a means to deal with cultural themes and political issues. Gemma Marmalade, Senior Lecturer in the BA (Hons) Photography program at the University of Derby, UK, in Cranky and Resistant: Values and Qualities of Analogue Cine-Media in a Digital Age will present examples of practice navigating the notion of the “subversive voice,” where imagined fictions are presented as evocative social and historical photographic truths.
