Looking at Photography: Propaganda
Event info
Are you looking to develop your own practice? Do you want to understand what photography is or can be? This 8-week course will introduce you to the contemporary practice of photography through examples that link the historical, the contemporary, and the theoretical in a way that is dynamic, visual, and accessible to everybody.
Touching on major photographic genres such as landscape photography, portraiture, and conflict, it will look at some of the key photographers and ideas that have shaped how we see the world today and will also present a global, pluralist outlook on both the wonderful expressive and artistic qualities of the photographic image, as well as its darker side.
8: Propaganda – in its many guises
This lecture will look at how propaganda developed out of a challenge to communicate ideas clearly and simply to a mass audience in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution. It will also examine the overlap between propaganda, advertising and the mass appeals that led both to the horrors of the Second World War, the formation of the People’s Republic of China, and the age of mass advertising.
We do require a minimum number of registrants to run this course. In the event that we do not reach this two weeks before it starts we will provide a full refund.
