Dr Alasdair Foster, Leverhulme Visiting Professor from Melbourne and Ambassador to the Asia-Pacific PhotoForum, is one of the most original, provocative and inspiring thinkers in photography. We are delighted to welcome him to Manchester during a brief visit to the UK for a keynote lecture that sets the scene for the next National Photography Symposium later in 2018 on The Future of Work in Photography.
‘Duality’, a documentary photography project by Simon Bray and Tristan Poyser, explores the way in which our uniform, workwear and casual clothes influence the perception of the individual. ‘Duality’ displays each individual twice, once in their work attire, the other in their own clothing.
The exhibition will be complimented by tasting sessions from local producers, include gin from Brindle Distillery and beers from Manchester breweries Blackjack, Runaway and Track.
