About the Event

Autograph's Director, Mark Sealy, is speaking at the third instalment of London College of Communication's series The Decolonising Lens. He will be in conversation with photographer, artist and researcher Ingrid Pollard discussing the development of methodologies of making and research that has spanned an ongoing forty-year career.

The materiality of lens-based media, as both technical and historical material, provide a central focus to a discussion of subjecthood, locations and dislocation within the colonial imaginary. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, and raised in London, Pollard’s practice emerged out of the political organisation and community arts projects of the early 1980s and 1990s.

Sealy and Pollard will discuss the arc of her practice, from screen printing workshops through her studies at London College of Printing, to the photographic projects such as Pastoral Interludes, the series exploring race and representation within English countryside. Her recent exhibition of Seventeen of Sixty Eight at the Baltic, Gateshead, as part of the Baltic Artist’s Award 2019, locates the racialised figured within space through the character of the ‘Black Boy’ on the pubs signs, street names and architecture of Britain.

This event is organised by Photography and the Archive Research Centre at London College of Communication and hosted by its Director Brigitte Lardinois.
