Huddersfield, Belfast, New York

Huddersfield

Had a fantastic day at the University of Huddersfield with photography students this week, speaking about the photobook as a form of communication and giving some practical help to students working on books. Was great to see photobooks in their infant stages as well as to work with students in re-editing John Gossage’s ‘The Pond’ and Nathan Pearce’s ‘Midwest Dirt’. A few pictures here from Richard Mulhearn…

A Report from Brazil and Upcoming Event in Belfast

A report from Walter Costa from the PBC TRAMA in Brazil…

Here’s the post about our last session…. I’m sorry but it’s in Portuguese only!

It was like a series of short duels between two teams attacking or defending the books we previously drew among a selection of 2 titles per country… it was really interesting to see how the debate rose thanks to the duel scheme: people who normally are quite silent were “forced” to participate and added interesting considerations!

And notice of an event in Belfast next Tuesday at Belfast exposed can be found here….
