Join us for a talk with Photographer Michal Iwanowski as part of our Higgins Initiative series of guest speaker led talks.

We’ve commissioned a series of Saturday Talks with 6 eminent photographers who have contributed considerably to the canon of photography, located in Wales.After presenting an overview of significant themes and projects in their work, there will be an opportunity for prospective applicants to the Higgins Initiative and current ffocws scheme cohort to book a slot with the guest speaker to show and discuss aspects of their own work.Michal Iwanowski (b. 1977) is a Cardiff based artist and a lecturer in photography at Cardiff Metropolitan University. His work, rooted in the documentary tradition, brings together photography, text, video, archival materials, and performative elements - most notably long distance walking. He is interested in the themes of migration, (national) identity, belonging and loss; Iwanowski often sets his protagonists against nature, in a bid to highlight the connection between the personal and the global perspectives.

Iwanowski's first monograph ‘Clear of People’ was published in 2017, and his second book ‘Go home Polish’ is due to be published in 2024. His work can be found in the permanent collection of international institutions, including Museum of Contemporary art in Zagreb and the National Museum of Wales.
