The upcoming event ‘Photobook 101‘ on 20th November is supported by Arts Council and University of Brighton. The Photography team at Brighton University have worked with Photoworks on an upcoming day of talks, workshops, and photobook launches exploring the art and practice of photobooks. The event engages with artists, publishers, designers and curators on topics that span concept to production, including vision, sequencing, design, materiality and reaching audiences.
The day will also feature an exhibition by artists from the University of Brighton Photography Research Group, plus a curated presentation of photobooks curated by Danit Ariel, selected for their design, content, process and materiality, alongside a display of books and magazines from Photoworks’ iconic 30 years of publishing.
