There will be talks, drinks and plenty of magazines available on the night. Some of the featured artists will be present too.

Inspired by Aimé Céaire’s formulation “colonisation = chosification”,
Photoworks Annual #30 is themed The Thing . Gathering 27 projects, this
publication considers how the camera objectifies, and how image-makers
have broached this. The Thing is an intersectional project that includes works on
the environment, colonialism, feminism, class, and gay and disability rights,
suggesting a common interest against a commodifying gaze and a technology
both shaped by and perpetuating it. As Ariella Aïsha Azoulay has put it,
“photography was not co-opted by imperialism but rather grew out of it”.
