PhotoVoice gives a talk at the London Art Fair!
Come along and check out our stall at this year’s London Art Fair, 18-22 January 2012, Business Design Centre, Islington, London, N1.
We will also be hosting a panel discussion on Wednesday 18th January, 12-1pm, on the subject: Airbrushing the world: Can photography change society?
The aim is hear from professionals with different experiences and perspectives on how photography can be used as a tool for social change, which will then be opened to the floor for questions and debate about the role of photography in bringing about change in behaviour, policy and practice.
Panel members include:
