PRESS FREEDOM PROTEST. To highlight attacks on the freedom of the media, NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear stages a lone protest outside New Scotland Yard, London. 28/03/08. Copyright (c) Facundo Arrizabalaga. Published here by kind permission of Facundo Arrizabalaga.
Photoforum, is a new way for like-minded photographers to discuss images. The inaugural event will be taking place this Thursday, April 3rd and will be showcasing the work of Lefteris Pitarakis, Daniel Berehulak and Helen Atkinson as well as the opportunity for others to put their name in the hat for an ‘open slot’ to bring their pictures on the day for showing and discussing them.
Anyone interested in one of the open slots should bring their work on a DC or USB flash drive in an easily read format (JPEG preferred). Photoforum is free and is kindly hosted by Jacobs in their pro lounge which is downstairs at their store at 74 New Oxford Street, London, WC1A 1EU. The event starts promptly at 6.00pm and will finish at 8.00pm, after which their will be an opportunity to adjourn to a local pub and continue the conversation.
The event will run monthly on the first Thursday in each month and will become a place for working photographers from across the spectrum to bring images, ideas, photo-stories approaches and work in progress for supportive debate and criticism.
Plus I have been asked to bring along the Slideshow of the Press Freedom Protest from last week.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Jess Hurd.
