An evening looking at photography and place. Three artists with diverse approaches will discuss their work about the interaction between landscape and experience, answering the question ‘How does our individual perception alter our interpretation of a place?’.
We all encounter landscapes differently depending on our perspective. These artists explore this idea photographically, by visiting a much photographed city for the first time or by returning to a space that was once home.
Joshua, Kat and Liam will all present their individual projects before moving into a wider discussion about how we can use photography to interpret a landscape and explore our own connections with certain spaces and places.

Investigation into the individual's interaction with landscapes offers an intricate perspective from which to navigate social and cultural themes and issues.
