With Thanks to Arts Council England we are pleased to announce an exciting series of Photographer's Talks as part of our 2020 online programme.

The talks are free and will take place online via Zoom, an email with the link to join the Zoom meeting will be sent out to attendees prior to the talks taking place.

Andrew Jackson’s works negotiate explorations of selfhood, representation and narration within intimate and personal interventions, which focus on transnational migration, belonging, displacement and collective memory.

As the art historian Professor Eddie Chambers has written “British life has had the disastrous effect of immigrants not being routinely regarded as sensitive human beings, but being instead cast as vexatious problems. Jackson’s work restores humanity to people from whom this critical characteristic has been routinely withheld or withdrawn. And in restoring humanity, a thousand stories of life can be, and are, told.”

Jackson is a recipient of the month-long Light Work / Autograph ABP (AIR) International Photography Residency in Syracuse, New York and is a graduate of the MA Documentary photography program at Newport in Wales. In 2018 Jackson was shortlisted for the Elliott Erwitt Fellowship and the Magnum Foundation Social Justice fellowship and in the past has been a nominee for the Prix Pictet award.

His works are held in both International and National collections of photography such as the United Kingdom Government Art Collection, the Garman Ryan Collection (New Art Gallery Walsall), Light Work Collection at Syracuse University, Autograph ABP Collection, Rugby Museum & Art Gallery, Cadbury Trust, as well as being held in a range of private collections.

He was previously a co-founder and co-director of both IC Visual Lab and Some Cities, participatory photography companies in the UK.
