At the end of last year, there was a three day zoom conference celebrating 50 years of the photographers gallery. The conference is now onYoutube (links below).
There are over 12 hours of watching, and it's slightly hard work. Most of the speakers are academics, curators, etc. The talks are short, but the Q&A sessions take up more time than the talks.
Some, didn't seem all that interesting at first, but I forced my self to watch through them and glad I did.
It was good to listen to the stories behind galleries and magazines that I was aware of, but knew little about. And, while this maybe a reflection of conference bias, how much social and political activism lay behind the development of photography during the early years of the gallery. But there was also discussion on issues of teaching photography, archiving photography, digital imaging, indeed a whole range of topics.
The links and the talk titles are below: Note, on youtube, the different sessions have been uploaded out of order.
