The Colin Ford lecture recognises the significant role that Colin Ford CBE has made to British photography since the 1970s, as a curator, museum director, and scholar. This event celebrates Colin's knowledge, scholarship and long-standing interest in Julia Margaret Cameron. 2024 also sees the 150th anniversary of Cameron's Annals of My Glass House (1874) which is held in the RPS Collection at the V&A Museum, London.
Letters from Life presents live readings from correspondence between Julia Margaret Cameron and Lord Alfred Tennyson, William Thackeray, GF Watts, Sir John Herschel and Anne Thackeray Ritchie, including newly discovered letters.
Created and introduced by Kathleen McLaughlin, Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles.
The texts will be read by Lynne Truss, Timothy West CBE and others to be announced.
