In Our Own Image will examine the legacy of the Decade of Centenaries, reflecting on issues of equality, diversity and inclusion
About this event
This event will address the role of photography in recording our unfolding histories to consider what histories are remembered, and what histories have been omitted.
Organised by the Photo Museum Ireland formerly Gallery of Photography Ireland and the Nerve Centre's Creative Centenaries project, the event will consider the role of photography in recording our unfolding histories to consider what has been remembered and what has been omitted.
As we move towards the final years of the Decade of Centenaries commemorations, this conference brings together leading historians, academics, artists, curators and cultural figures from across Ireland, Northern Ireland and Great Britain to reflect on issues of equality, diversity and inclusion and how we might better reflect diverse histories and perspectives.
Across three panels, contributors will address the politics of representation. Contributors include:
Feargal Fitzpatrick, photo historian, NCAD
Joy Carey, Digitisation Manager, PRONI
Mark Sealy, curator, cultural historian and Director of Autograph (Association of Black Photographers)
William Blair, Director of Collections, National Museums NI
Orla Fitzpatrick, photo historian
Sinead McCoole, historian
Erika Hanna, academic, University of Bristol
Pauline Vermare, independent curator
Brian Newman, artist
Panel discussions will be chaired by Tommy Graham (History Ireland), Mark Duncan (Century Ireland) and Paul Mullan (National Lottery Heritage Fund).
