PHOTO CAFÉ (Free Event): Fairness & Visibility in the Industry

Our next Photo Café talk with Seeing Collective is coming up on Friday, May 24th (7pm – 9pm) at BKC on the topic of Fairness and Visibility. How can we encourage diversity and create equality within the photography industry? What are some ways to give underrepresented people a platform to share their stories and voice? These are just a couple questions that come to mind when thinking about fairness and visibility across the industry and we hope to broach this topic in our next discussion.
