Event: Re-imagined Ecologies | Exhibition 6-20 November 2025, Private View 6 November 2025 5-7pm at Dorset Place Gallery
This is part of the School of Art and Media Research Knowledge Exchange Festival.
You are warmly invited to attend the opening of Re-imagine Ecologies on 6th November, 5.30-7.30pm, Dorset Place Gallery.
This exhibition of recent practice-based work by colleagues in the photography research group explores ecological themes through depictions of human and animal bodies and environments.
The selection of work in the exhibition offers various ways to reimagine how human and non-human natures relate to one another with photography as a disclosive medium embedded in ecological relations.
Different approaches to photography are presented in the exhibition that refer to and challenge traditional realist categories of picturing, as well as contrasting methods of image appropriation, montage and collage. The exhibition contributes new perspectives on relations of art and ecology with which to reflect upon current circumstances and consider uncertain futures.
Re-imagined Ecologies builds upon recent photography research group activities, including previous exhibitions during Photo Fringe 2024 in our School of Art and Media Dorset Place and Willmot Galleries, an exhibition responding to the British Antarctic Survey Photography Archive and Stranger than Fiction at Phoenix Art Space Project Space in 2024.
