18:00 'Is Photography Democratic?' Panel discussion with Lewis Bush, Cinzia D'ambrosi, Lotte Andersen and Vindhya Buthpitiya

Join us for an event specially created by our Trainee Curators to interrogate how photography changes everything.

Anyone can take a photo and anyone can be photographed. From surveillance to social media, photography has changed everything. But has the ubiquity of image-making democratised the medium? A third of the world owns a camera... but in a digital age who owns your image? Join the BPF18 Trainee Curators in lively contemplation of how we experience photography today.

Free but limited spaces RSVP HERE
