All are welcome to the opening of the exhibition The Queering of Photography 2024 opens this Friday, 11 October 5.30-7.30pm, at the Willmot Gallery (Edward street, ground floor), City Campus, University of Brighton, 154 Edward Street, Brighton, BN2 0JG. Hope to see you there!
The exhibition The Queering of Photography 2024 showcases new portraits by Åsa Johannesson and marks the final stages of her body of work The Queering of Photography (2015-2024). These photographs depict individuals from the Brighton and London LGBTQ+ community and are produced using a 5×4” large format plate camera. Each portrait is shaped through playful encounters between photographer, sitter, and camera technique. The exhibition title names this triangular approach to ‘queering’ photography – a foregronding of pose, gaze, and traditional photographic technologies. The photographic imagery presented in this exhibition is further supported by the prose poem ‘Coda’.
UoB Photography presents a programme of curated exhibitions and events by staff and students from the Photography department at the University of Brighton. Over the course of the Photo Fringe festival, the university will showcase examples of our diverse photographic practices through a number of exhibitions and events at the City Campus Edward Street Gallery and Dorset Place Gallery. This series of exhibitions and events will explore contemporary dialogues between the photographic medium and queer identity, artificial intelligence, the environment, and the consequences of conflict.
