Join us for the first academic walkthrough of our exhibition programme as we welcome Marco Bohr, Associate Professor in Design and Digital Art at Nottingham School of Art & Design.
This event marks the beginning of a series of short, informal, academic-led talks and tours of the Bonington Gallery exhibition programme. These sessions provide our academic colleagues with an opportunity to share insights, spark discussion, and share research that resonates with the themes of our exhibitions.
Marco’s research is concerned with the role that images play in the shaping of a variety of discourses related to politics, gender, identity, sexuality, censorship, ethics and disasters. Drawing on his background as an exhibiting photographer, Marco’s research interest is principally focused on the photographic image — not only as a medium of visual expression but also as a research methodology and a tool for political activism.
Marco’s research interest also extends to visual propaganda, cinema, documentary and essay film. His book “Visual Counterculture in Japan” was recently published by Bloomsbury.
