Photoworks - Photography Talk - Anthony Luvera

Photoworks Photography Champions Programme Medway & Sun Pier House host a Photography Talk with Anthony Luvera.

Anthony Luvera is a socially engaged artist, writer and educator. Working in concert with people who are marginalised, overly spoken for, and misrepresented, Anthony’s practice is built on dialogue, trust, participation, and co-creation. Through long-term collaborative projects, often embedded within the support services of health and social care organisations, Anthony’s work addresses issues such as homelessness, housing injustice, and queer representation. His exhibitions take place in the public realm as often as they are seen in galleries or museums, including the UK House of Commons, Tate Liverpool, Museum of Homelessness, London Underground’s Art on the Underground, National Portrait Gallery, Belfast Exposed, Malmö Fotobiennal, Goa International Photography Festival, Oslo Negative, Landskrona Foto, and Les Rencontres d'Arles. His publications have been distributed freely to residents across cities and sent directly to local and national policymakers in support of efforts to campaign for improvements to public services. Anthony is Associate Professor of Photography in the Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities at Coventry University. He has designed education and mentorship programmes, facilitated workshops, and given lectures for the public education departments of National Portrait Gallery, Tate, Magnum, Royal Academy of Arts, The Photographers’ Gallery, Barbican Art Gallery, and community photography projects across the UK.

Photoworks champions photography for everyone. We are an international platform, global in reach, and have provided opportunities for artists and audiences since 1995. We do not have a physical venue, but our online channels are always open. Our programme brings new experiences to audiences and opens up new ways to encounter photography.

Founded in 1995, Photoworks is a registered charity and the only organisation with a national remit for photography in England. Our work is supported by public funding through Arts Council England’s National Portfolio.

Photoworks is led by Louise Fedotov-Clements, Director.
