We’re reopening

For our old friends, this is going to look a bit different, but the pandemic has been beneficial to discover new ways of working. Over the last year, we moved from friendly faces to digital screens and we’re looking forward to welcoming you back into our space. We’ll continue to follow government guidelines and we ask that you respect our team as we get back to a new normal. 
 
Our main entrance through Brixton Recreation Centre is now open, so if you’re coming to our space, please use this entrance. We have an NHS Covid QR code, we ask that you scan it on arrival. We’ll also ask you to wear a mask in all common areas unless exempt, wash hands frequently, and make use of the hand sanitiser available.

Please note booking is required for access to our gallery, darkrooms, and scanning suite.

Anti-Racism: A Statement from Photofusion

Photofusion stands against racism and supports Black Lives Matter. We continue to work as we have done, towards embodying the values of anti-racism with our work and organisation. The barbaric killing of George Floyd has had a significant and distressing impact on us all. We acknowledge the presence of systemic racism in society and further consider what we can do to counter racism whenever and wherever it occurs.

In response to recent events and in support of Black Lives Matter, we have been working alongside our young people’s collective, Sorry2AnnoyU (S2AU), to craft a visual response and related programming.  As from tomorrow, we are excited to be turning our social media over to these young people.  We are immensely proud of the work they have made over the past two weeks.  Announcements on programming and funded opportunities for BAME artists who wish to make work in support of Black Lives Matter will be forthcoming.
