Democratic Image Seminar by Redeye. Didn’t blog about this last year, but an interesting weekend event held over in Manchester. The highlight seeing Pedro Meyer speak about the issues, photography in Mexico and the Zone Zero website.

There was a mix of writers, critics and photographers. Also people from the industry. Suvendra Chatterjee spoke about photography in India. There were two speakers from Photo Voice who described their activity of giving cameras to people in the Third World. Mark Sealy spoke about power issues in photography and the representation of blacks. Geert Van Ketsteren a Magnum photographer showed work from the Iraq war. Two female photographers showed work respresenting women in the UK and abroad.
