Photofusion member and long-time Brixton resident Jan Enkelmann will be launching his new photobook, The Triangle, in our main gallery.

The book is a love letter to Brixton and its people, built over seven years of portraits and cityscapes. It’s a personal take on the neighbourhood, exploring themes of spirit, pride, dignity and resilience.

Come along for a chat, refreshments and the opportunity to see some of the images from the book on the wall as part of our current Select/25 exhibition. Of course, you can also check out or buy the book, or get your copy signed.

Inspired by and with a backdrop of Rosie Barnes’s work from her powerful photo portrait project ‘No You’re Not, Yes I Am, a portrait of autistic women’ (currently on display in the Select/25 exhibition), do join us for an evening of open discussion about the challenges faced by autistic women, through their own stories and perspectives.

If you are interested from a personal point of view (yourself or others close to you), or if you want to have a greater and deeper understanding - because of the work you may do, or you’d just like to be better informed - this event is for you.
 
Rosie will briefly discuss her work and then a few other autistic women (some of whose portraits and stories are featured in the exhibition space) will speak on several topics, about their experiences - positive and negative - pertinent to what it is to be an autistic woman (or girl) in today’s society - and how others might best lend understanding and meaningful support. Open discussion after each short presentation is very much encouraged. Themes to be covered (but not limited to): education, health, employment, and cultural intersectionality.

As part of Photofusion’s 2024 Artist Talks Series, we are pleased to present an exclusive ‘in conversation’ event with Martin Parr and Chris Boot on Tuesday, 3rd December at 6.30pm.

Martin Parr, the renowned British photographer and photojournalist, is known for his satirical and vividly colourful documentary photography that captures the quirks of everyday life. Joining him is Chris Boot, a respected figure in the photography world, whose career spans from being the first employee of the Photo Co-op in 1984 (which later became Photofusion) to leading Magnum Photos’ London and New York offices and serving as Executive Director of Aperture.

Together, Parr and Boot will delve into the rich history of the Photo Co-op, the cultural context of Britain in the 1980s, and their shared passion for photography. This conversation will take place alongside our current exhibition, which features works from the Photo Co-op Archive, now part of the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear directly from two influential figures in photography.

We are excited to announce that during The Nature of Change: A Lambeth Adult Learning Showcase exhibition, we will be hosting an artist talk with photographer and tutor Tereza Červeňová.

Červeňová was a featured tutor during our STEP UP photography course and is back to discuss her practice, her time as a tutor on the Lambeth adult learning course and then finally finishing the evening with a Q&A.

Červeňová’s work juxtaposes delicate imagery with political and autobiographical references. She considers her practice to be inherently collaborative as it engages with intimate, social, and civil relationships. Tereza uses photography as a stage for exchanging ideas, sentiments, and experiences—a vision that she brings into her teaching practice as well.

Join us next Friday, 6-8 pm, for a discussion on 'Collaboration in Photography’ as part of our solo exhibition, ‘Reconstructed Nature: the Collaborative Process’.

How do we forge new perspectives when we look at photography through the lens of collaboration? In this talk, artist duo Luke & Nik will discuss their collaborative exchanges across the British coast and wildlands in Denmark as they seek to embrace the unpredictable power of nature.

Together, they will talk through their journey and friendship, and where they hope their collaboration positions the stories of individuals to get closer to our surrounding nature. This conversation is moderated by Jessica Wan (Curator of the exhibition) and joined by Derek Wiafe (Photofusion Youth & Community Engagement Manager).
