Essex Photo Album Workshop (Basildon)
The Essex Photo Album workshops will be hosted by Magnum Photos Basildon library.
Through a series of four workshops, participants are invited to reflect on stereotyping representations of the county, offer strategies for how this can be combated and engage in a co-creation of a photo album by contributing images from their homes, cameras and phones.
These events aim to collectively discuss the importance of visual literacy by exploring the power of storytelling through photography.
The workshop will produce a curated educational resource, combining archival images of Essex from Magnum’s extensive collection, with the newly commissioned contemporary work by Magnum photographer Lua Ribeira.

Funded by the Essex County Council Arts and Cultural Fund.
