Description

A conversation about photography, protest and reproductive rights in Ireland and Brazil, with Rose Comiskey, Camila Cavalcante and Orla Fitzpatrick.

With reproductive rights being fought for across the world, this talk examines the broader issues raised by looking in detail at two separate contexts that share similiarities and yet some key points of difference: Ireland and Brazil. What is the role of photography, and the relationship of image to protest, in these struggles?

This discussion marks the first in our series of online discussions on FEMINISM, PHOTOGRAPHY AND RESISTANCE. This programme of online talks explores the relationship between photography and resistance from a feminist perspective. The series is produced in collaboration with Kylie Thomas, researcher at NIOD in Amsterdam, and the editor of a special issue of MAI: Feminism and Visual Culture journal on photography and resistance, to be published in Spring 2022.
