About
The conference offers various platforms where artistic, philosophical, social, cultural, economical and technological approaches to photography meet. We welcome submissions from all areas of photography research. Since 2016 photography education has been one of the areas and we welcome submissions for the educational panel for presenting educational projects and related research. The conference language is English.
The themes of the four previous conferences have been Images in Circulation (2012), Photographic Powers(2014), Photographic Agencies and Materialities (2016) and Reconsidering the “Post-truth Condition”: Epistemologies of the photographic image (2018).
