Friday, 17th March 2023
QUAD, Derby
FORMAT, QUAD and the University of Derby are delighted to present the conference for FORMAT23.
Book your tickets: https://www.derbyquad.co.uk/FORMAT23Conference
The conference is organised by Dr. Gemma Marmalade and Dr. Philip Harris from the University of Derby and will be hosted at Derby QUAD. The conference will draw on the festival theme What Photography Can Be. This broad but evocative statement has allowed for a critical examination into a wide range of practices and themes, drawing upon the work of image makers and curators contributing to the wider FORMAT exhibition programme.
Keynote speakers, Oliver Frank Chanarin (UK), and Dr. Erika Abad (Nevada State College, USA) will set the scope for the morning and afternoon sessions respectively, with further contributions that examine photography’s role and identity during a time of challenging conditions, relationships, and identities, for nations as well as individuals.
The FORMAT23 conference will be held in-person at QUAD, Derby as well as being live-streamed for online access.
All on-location delegate tickets will include day long refreshments, lunch for all dietary needs, special offer book editions from a range of speakers, coach transport from QUAD to Markeaton Street Gallery for complimentary evening refreshments and the opening events for five FORMAT exhibitions which include performance works, book signings, and closing speeches. A subsidised bar, café, and food truck will also be provided for our guests during the evening event.
