Research Seminars in Photographic Cultures and Heritage.

The Photographic History Research Centre (PHRC) is delighted to launch "Research Seminars in Photographic Cultures and Heritage", a new, free-to-attend online series of talks and discussions exploring photography’s entanglements with politics, technology, and cultural production.
