Looking at the importance of curating representation in photography as a living archive, join the discussion on who decides what’s important to keep and discard in our visual archives; directing a lens into the corridor between the subjectivity and politics of context. How do gallerists, artists and collectors retain an archive? How pertinent is the asset value mindset for collectors and galleries in deciding what to preserve? What is the importance and reinvigoration of archives for showcasing a version of the past whilst commentating and re-imagining our presence through photography?

Speakers include:

• Rebecca Mcclelland, curator at Breaking Barriers

• Tamsin Silvey, Programme Curator for Historic England

• Kaia Charles, Cultural Projects Manager at Now Gallery and Greenwich Peninsula

• Chaired by Sunil Shah, artist and writer based in Oxford.
