I am delighted to have been awarded a new international residency opportunity, in collaboration with GRAIN and the IED Madrid, for a proposal that looks at my relationship with photographic practice.
During the residency in November I aim to produce original curatorial research and new writing. The residency will expand my professional development internationally.
My research research investigates the body within the physical space of the city, particularly investigating photography and performance through the lenses of curating and writing.
The residency is a special opportunity to research and devise new work that contributes to professional development, portfolio and the cultural significance of the spaces/hosts/communities.
This opportunity is part of a broader series of continued professional development opportunities conceived and developed by GRAIN in partnership with IED Madrid, supported by Arts Council England and Birmingham City University.
The residency has been designed as an exchange. At the same time a residency will be undertaken by an artist, photographer or curator from Madrid/Barcelona in the West Midlands, UK.
