SelfScapes has received Catalyst funding from York St John University for a series of events in 2018, with an emphasis on exchanging and developing understanding and foregrounding approaches and research outputs that enhance artistic research. The aim of the research cluster is to investigate both the body and place as sites for interconnected experiences and how this might be mediated through a range of media.
JANUARY 2017: Delivered a paper at the Talbot Conference 2018, organised by staff at Blackburn College and chaired by Professor Paul Hill MBE. The event provided a unique opportunity to explore the photographic collections of Howard and Wally Talbot (photographers in Blackburn from the 1930s to the 1990s). The paper focused on recent depictions of the town of Blackburn, Lancashire, in the televisual and news media in recent years, and a discussion of the types of imagery used for such publications and broadcasts.
