Teacher Highlight
Renzo Martens, Dutch artist who currently lives and works in Amsterdam and Kinshasa.
'Episode III, also known as 'Enjoy Poverty', is the 90-minute film registration of Renzo Martens' activities in the Congo. In an epic journey, the film establishes that images of poverty are the Congo’s most lucrative export, generating more revenue than traditional exports like gold, diamonds, or cocoa. However, just as with these traditional exports, those that provide the raw material: the poor being filmed, hardly benefit from it at all.'

Laia Abril, Spanish photographer and multi-platform storyteller whose work relates to femininity.
'Throughout the past six years, it is these kinds of eruptions with which Laia Abril has made her name, visually and well as textually. Her new book, On Abortion: And the Repercussions of Lack of Access, is no exception. It is the first ‘chapter’ of Abril’s long-term research project titled A History of Misogyny.'

Sohrab Hura, Indian photographer based in New Delhi, India.
“Today this feeling about one’s photography being destroyed by being a photographer is even more relevant and urgent for me. Towards the end of any work, I can sense that my conditioning to working that way has allowed me to get a sense of what makes a good photo or a photo that works, and the moment that sense comes to me with ease is when I need to get worried.”

Aletheia Casey, Photographic artist based between Sydney, Australia and London.
‘For me photography is personal and being able to photograph what is important to me is one of the things that I love most about the medium.’

What have we been up too?

* PUBLICATION: Trigger IMPACT
Can we still assume photography’s (age-old) impact in an image-saturated world, where fake news, the questioning of representative democracy and the return of colonial pasts are engaging different political cultures, publics, action and pression groups?
Read all about it in the co-edit of FOMU’s new publication platform concerning photography: Trigger IMPACT. The first issue on photography and impact is made in close collaboration with Photography & Society students alongside guest editor Donald Weber, teacher and researcher at KABK.
