There is an exciting new open call with our partners The Sustainable Darkroom!

This is a paid research and development opportunity with The Sustainable Darkroom.

DEADLINE: 8th August

We are looking for a small group to work with us on the creation of a photographic garden. The selected individuals will use the completed garden as a research space for developing new relationships between the garden and analogue photography. This could include, but is not limited to; making plant-based photographic developers, establish a water recycling and filtration system, or researching biodegradable, plant-based alternatives to celluloid and gelatin. We are also interested in proposals that make a conceptual link between the content and plant material used.

The individuals will have the support of relevant scientists, horticulturists and artists across the year to help and advise with aspects of the research.

This is a year-long project; running from September 2021 - September 2022.

At the end of each research initiative, there is an option for exhibiting at a local gallery space.

You will be expected to utilise the garden for a minimum of 12 days throughout 1 year, and contribute your research findings to The Sustainable Darkroom initiative.

Supported by East Street Arts, funded by TBA.

APPLY:
