Photoworks research project

Project Art Work’s Tuesday Accelerate Studio’s artist and makers were invited by Photoworks in Brighton to carry out some research exploring inclusive approaches to photography to feed into their Explorers Project,  In Focus co-commission. Supported by the artist team, Tuesday Studio makers spent six days exploring photography in different ways focusing on ways of making it accessible and meaningful for the diverse needs of all members of the group. The images seen here were made using a giant, wheelchair accessible Camera Obscura and recorded using an iPad. They also experimented with camera-less photography using solar-prints, scanners and light-boxes, drawing onto photographs, painting photographic projections, pickled photographs and submerged photographs in seawater.

The finding from their research will be included in a Toolkit published later in the year by Photoworks. See the documentation of this research here explorersproject.org.
