Course overview
Photography plays an important role in raising the profile of environmental issues and has the ability to be sustainable. It can also be defined as an extractive medium with an impact on natural resources. Over the course of a day, we will unpack the problems and possibilities of photography in relation to the environment.
Greener Photography will introduce a range of photographers and artists committed to addressing climate change through their work – including Edward Burtynsky, Susan Derges, Gideon Mendel and Anastasia Samoylova. We will look at some of the historic influences that continue to affect contemporary photographers documenting disaster. We will also uncover a range of abstract imagery that highlights the consequences of what is now widely acknowledged as the Anthropocene era.
Finally, we will discuss the role of activism through photography and how to manage eco-anxieties in relation to photography
Led by PhD candidate on Falmouth University’s Environmental Futures programme and eco-conscious photographic artist Josie Purcell.
