Our one-day symposium will bring together artists from across the festival for a day of lively discussion, unpacking the ideas behind the exhibition programme. Speakers will include: Natasha Christia, Kegham Djeghalian Jr, Joy Gregory, Anna Jornet, Akshay Mahajan, Liu Hsing Yu, Annie Wang, and others.
The symposium is a unique opportunity to hear leading voices from across the photographic world, together in the same room. Throughout the day there will be opportunities for audience questions and the chance to informally meet the artists.
The symposium is co-presented with the British Journal of Photography, FOAM Magazine and the University of the West of England.
