Are you LGBTQIA+ or non-heterosexual? Do you have experience of darkrooms in the home or in spaces that feel like home to you?  If so, then this project is for you! I wish to speak to people who have experience of one or multiple of the following as part of my PhD research:

• Have you ever made or owned a home darkroom, permanent or semi-permanent, in Britan?
• Do you work with analogue and/or alternative photographic processes at home?
• Do you have memories of home darkrooms? Has this influenced your photography?
• Do you have experience of setting up or running a home or community darkroom?
• Have you been part of a community darkroom that felt like home?

My name is Molly Caenwyn and am a photographer, photo historian and second year PhD student at the University of Westminster in collaboration with the Museum of the Home. I am currently looking for participants for oral history interviews for my research titled “The Home Darkroom and the Freedom of Photographic Production in Britain, 1950s-present”.
