Event overview
A one-off opportunity to hear from two important photographers of our time
Postponed: Due to Covid-19 we are postponing this event, once we have a new date this event listing will be updated.
Neil Kenlock (born 1950) is a Jamaican-born photographer and media professional who has lived in London, England, since the 1960s, and is acknowledged as being "at the forefront of documenting the black experience in the UK". He was co-founder of Choice FM, the first successful radio station granted a licence to cater for the black community in Britain.
Eddie Otchere’s career as a photographer began in the late ‘80s, when he started documenting the culture he was living in. “If you’re growing up during the era of the second golden age of hip-hop, you find yourself wanting to record yourself or record your favorite trainers in creative patterns and nice photogenic ways,” .... Over time, Otchere’s focus grew from hip-hop to a whole range of other musical subcultures spreading across Britain. “The stories, the folklore, the whole lot. You become invested and you take a camera with you,” he continues, “20 years later you can find yourself telling stories about a time that’s gone by.”
The talk will also coincide with a temporary exhibition of Kenlock's work for one night only.
