TalkSeePhotography Incubator Refusal and Other Essential Strategies

TalkSeePhotography’s Incubator events are a public platform where emerging writers and makers of photography can present their ideas alongside a nominated speaker within their chosen field. Following an open call for applications throughout the summer we are pleased to present the last in our winter 2017-18 series of Incubator events with a presentation by Camara Taylor. The responder to this event will be Alberta Whittle.

Camara Taylor is a burnt out artist and programmer based in Glasgow. With a practice that is methodologically situated within a framework of practising refusal and tidalectics (as defined by Barbadian poet Kamu Brathwaite) Camara will present a body of work which spill and flow from photography into, text, sound works, workshops, events, publications and zine collections. Together with Creative Lab Feburary resident Alberta Whittle whose focus is radical self care, Camara will through her practice reflect upon issues around refusal, body as technologies of self care, under representation of PoC artists and tidalectics as methodologies of making, living and resisting. The event will raise issues around representation/silencing of PoC and should concern everyone.

Whittle and Camara’s earlier collaborations as co curators, their explorations representation and the nature of the Creative Lab residency the conversations may take on unexpected forms. We are more than delighted to have the opportunity to present two artists in conversation.

Camara Taylor and Alberta Whittle are based in Glasgow.
