All I can do is try

The intervention is designed around the Media Photography tech-run Instagram account, @lcclondonphoto, and specifically the competitions run during term time – initiatives aimed at highlighting students’ and alumni’s work while offering free analogue film, a resource increasingly out of reach due to rising costs. As the competition designer, my positionality – a 33-year-old white British… Continue reading Inclusive Practices: Reflective Report

I’m white, middle class and a Londoner – born in Bethnal Green and grew up in Stoke Newington. When writing about race – I think you need to be aware of your positionality.
