Spent a couple of hours stuffing MA Photography and Collaboration flyers into @OPENENGAGEMENT totes today. #OE2018 💪✌️
This. Or even just “photographed.” Collaboration doesn’t mean better. It’s okay to make images of people, without claiming they have any meaningful authorship of the work. “Collaboration” getting thrown so readily without photographic authorial hierarchies being examined 🙄

Review of excellent 'Taking Part' show at @photofusionUK now online - on complexities of photographing community/participatory practices and more: photomonitor.co.uk/taking-part/
the life in the margins photography exhibition at the barbican is beautifully curated (even if I have some mixed feelings about some of the works). fave bit was seeing some of the original artefacts Jim Goldberg collected for Raised by Wolves (including The Jacket).
