Photography (MA)
What is a photograph now? Not just what is seen, but how seeing is structured. Not just what is made, but what is resisted. This year’s graduates have worked through fracture – political, economic, emotional – and made space for something else: ambivalence, experimentation, care. They have built with moving image, spoken through code, assembled histories in fragments, and invented new shapes for thought. They have asked: What does an image do? Who is permitted to look? Where are the limits of the frame? This is not resolution. It is pressure. It is process. It is proof that art made in difficult times does not shrink – it sharpens.
