Graduate Takeover is a short season of events, advice and inspiration led by last year’s photography graduates, to help you hit the ground running. It’s free and open to all, especially new graduates and new starters, and co-delivered by Redeye, Fuse and Short Supply.

We have invited three graduates to talk about their work and their year since graduating mid-pandemic. What can we all learn our adaptations to presenting work online, and what inspiration can we draw from new technologies?

Redeye's Photo Histories is a new strand of events that looks at some of the many histories that photography can uncover. The strand features photographers, archivists, scholars and historians exploring some of the lesser-known and under represented histories of photography.

Every Friday evening we go Live with working photographers on our Instagram! This new series aims to open up conversations about the state of the arts and those working within it.

One of the most influential and important photographic artists of the 21st century, Roger Ballen’s photographs span over forty years.  His strange and extreme works confront the viewer and challenge them to come with him on a journey into their own minds as he explores the deeper recesses of his own.  The Greater Manchester Centre for Photography based at the University of Bolton has kindly offered Redeye members the opportunity to attend this talk, which is part of their ongoing series of guest speakers arranged to support their students.
