Four Corners are delighted to announce the Another Eye conference, celebrating the contribution of women refugee photographers who came to Britain after 1933.  Presentations will cover these photographers’ work across portraiture, reportage, social documentary and architectural photography, and how the European cultural approaches that they brought with them informed British visual culture. In particular the conference will consider how their experiences both as outsiders and as women shaped their practice.

Speakers include:

Valeria Carullo, Architectural Photography by émigré women
Colin Ford, Lotte Meitner-Graf
Michele Henning, A Hundred Years: Lucia Moholy and German Photography History in Britain
Amanda Hopkinson, Woman to Woman: Photographic Friends Gerti Deutsch & Inge Morath
John March, Disrupted and Changing Careers of Women Refugee Photographers
Clara Masnatta, Photographer Grete Stern in London Transit
Roberta McGrath, Edith Tudor-Hart
Rolf Sachsse, Lucia Moholy: Science and Design in Exile
Kylie Thomas, Anne Fischer’s Itinerant Vision: A German Jewish photographer between England and South Africa
Barbara Warnock, The Rediscovery of Gerty Simon’s Work, Archive, Life and Career
Anthea Kennedy and Tom Heinersdorff, Memories of Erika Koch and Elisabeth Chat

This free event will run over three afternoons from Friday 11 to Sunday 13 September. Further details coming soon.
