Event overview
Designed for photographers, artists and urbanists whose work addresses notions of urban space and culture.
The aim of the urban photography international summer school is to provide a highly intensive two week practical and theoretical training in key aspects of urban visual practice. The course offers participants a wide range of relevant skills resulting in the production of a photography portfolio drawn from London's urban environments combined with a collective final exhibition. The programme will explore how the practice of urban image making informs the development of a reflexive and critical research perspective and will include assignments and guided fieldtrips focusing on (1)urban landscape, (2)street photography and (3)material objects.
The programme has been developed in collaboration with Urban Encounters and the Centre for Urban and Community Research (CUCR). The course will be taught by tutors from Goldsmiths' Sociology Department and the international MA in Photography and Urban Cultures. The programme draws on the advanced theoretical, research and practical image-making specialisms of key practitioners in the field. Summer School tutors include: Paul Halliday (MA in Photography and Urban Cultures Course Leader), Beatriz Veliz Argueta (Coordinator/Goldsmiths), Les Back (Goldsmiths), Caroline Knowles (CUCR Director), Mandy Lee Jandrell (Goldsmiths), Peter Coles (Oxford/Goldsmiths), Alex Rhys-Taylor (Goldsmiths), Manuel Vasquez (Goldsmiths), Michael Wayne Plant (Goldsmiths), Laura Cuch (Goldsmiths) and Jasmine Cheng (Goldsmiths).
