At Crossing Lines, an on-going forum for collaboration between photographers & researchers whose central interest is the urban situation, its constituents & its dynamics, i presented and discussed my project. Crossing lines is working in cooperation with the CUCR: Centre of Urban and Community Research at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Crossing Lines seeks to provide
- a valuable resource for developing a photographic practice
- an opportunity to pursue a joint project away from academic demands
- expanding contacts within photography
- an additional audience for research-in-progress
- an alternative channel for disseminating a project
- the prospect of working with someone who might challenge one’s assumptions
It encourages
- innovative approaches to collaboration at distance
- serendipitous encounters
- accidental outcomes
It believes that
- everyone benefits from the sharing of supportive reactions to their work
- photography in itself, and in the service of a wider project, is a developmental and explorative
- process which can benefit from partnership with others
- experimental work that has no formal platform for presentation benefits from a sympathetic forum
It is open to
- all members of London Independent Photography
- all students, researchers and staff of CUCR
- all those who have been associated with CUCR and who seek a point of contact for continued practical involvement
