Hothouse is our annual event celebrating new photography with short presentations from photographers about their recent work. We would love to hear from anyone who wants to share what they have been working on, whether it is a work-in-progress or snapshot of a completed project. We are open to any and all types of photography and aim to present a wide range of projects that show the breadth of talent of the photographic community.

Originally envisaged as a physical exchange between UK and Hong Kong visual arts networks, Peer to Peer has responded to the Covid-19 pandemic to become an online space where meaningful exchange can happen and partnerships and relationships can be forged. This panel discusses the changing role of archives, comparing the approaches in Hong Kong and the UK, and considers what the archives and collections of the future might look like.

Student and graduation panel session: Where now?

Paul Herrmann and a group of mentors from across the image-making industry will come together to give quick-fire advice to those who have just graduated (or who are still studying) and are wondering what options there are to progress their careers in light of the recent global upheaval. The panellists will invite their audience to think creatively and adapt their mindset to a working environment that while challenging, could also offer some very different opportunities.

An overview and discussion concerning the ethical challenges and issues facing photography today, with Savannah Dodd, founding director of the Photography Ethics Centre. Free and all welcome.
