Event Description

We are pleased to invite papers for the first Morton Photography Symposium, to be held on Tuesday 9 April 2019 at Broughton House & Garden, Kirkcudbright.

This symposium is inspired by a collection of photographs held at Broughton House in Kirkcudbright, the former home of Scottish painter Edward Atkinson Hornel.

Papers on any aspect of the photographer and social networks, as well as on how the camera creates a distance that can justify access to ‘foreign’ sites or inaccessible subjects, will be considered.

Please send a proposed title and abstract of 200–300 words for a 20–25 minute paper to Ben Reiss at breiss@nts.org.uk by Friday 12 October 2018.

Any enquiries about delivering a paper or attending the symposium may also be directed to Ben at this address, or please phone 07864 918969. Click here for more information.
