One of the most influential and important photographic artists of the 21st century, Roger Ballen’s photographs span over forty years. His strange and extreme works confront the viewer and challenge them to come with him on a journey into their own minds as he explores the deeper recesses of his own. The Greater Manchester Centre for Photography based at the University of Bolton has kindly offered Redeye members the opportunity to attend this talk, which is part of their ongoing series of guest speakers arranged to support their students.
Photography has a very complex relationship to ethics, and brings a unique set of challenges and considerations. In this event we will look at practical steps we can all take to interrogate our own working methods and ensure ethical best practice.

In the late 1980s and 90s Sheffield reached a pivotal moment in its history, one which saw it begin a journey of regeneration and transformation into the city we know today. The first steps on that journey were documented by a group of gifted photographers whose work reflected both the hope and hard realities of the time. Today, as major developments in the city see its landscape continuing to evolve, a new exhibition at Weston Park Museum re-presents those original photographs to chronicle a significant turning point for Sheffield and its people.
