Saturday Talks (Higgins Photography Initiative in Ffocws)
We are delighted to co-host a series of 'Saturday Talks' as part of the Higgins Photography Initiative open call in collaboration with Cardiff MADE.
We understand that not everybody has the opportunity to study at Higher Education level, or it may have been some time since you did, which is why we are introducing the Higgins Open Call specifically for photographers who are in the process of developing their photographic vision, and who aren't currently studying the arts at higher education level.
This series of talks will launch the open call in April, to introduce the different viewpoints and work of the professional photographers who will be acting as mentors to the scheme participants. After presenting an overview of significant themes and projects in their work, there will be an opportunity for prospective applicants to the Higgins Initiative and current Ffocws scheme cohort to book a slot with the guest speaker to show and discuss aspects of their own work.
