Graduate Takeover is a short season of events, advice and inspiration led by last year’s photography graduates, to help you hit the ground running. It’s free and open to all, especially new graduates and new starters, and co-delivered by RedeyeFuse and Short Supply.

We have invited three graduates to talk about their work and their year since graduating mid-pandemic. What can we all learn our adaptations to presenting work online, and what inspiration can we draw from new technologies?

We are delighted to welcome the award-winning director of African Apocalypse Rob Lemkin and the film’s narrator Femi Nylander for the next of our Photo Histories events.

The powerful new film tells the story of a young man’s journey across Africa in search of a colonial killer. The film’s protagonist, Femi Nylander, begins his journey exploring photographic archives that bear witness to the brutal violence visited on the people of Africa by Europeans.

Redeye's Photo Histories is a new strand of events that looks at some of the many histories that photography can uncover. The strand features photographers, archivists, scholars and historians exploring some of the lesser-known and under represented histories of photography.

Photography has a very complex relationship to ethics, and brings a unique set of challenges and considerations.
