Hear from Develop alumni Kairo Urovi and Charlie Bird as they reflect on their experience of the Develop programme — sharing their journey before, during, and after taking part.

Working in a collective is inspiring, complex, and full of learning. They’ll offer insights into what they learned, how they navigated challenges, and what they might have done differently, with a focus on the realities of working as part of a creative collective.

Join us for this conversation to hear more and about how you could be in the next collective. 

Charlie Bird is a London-based writer and curator whose work explores photography and visual culture. He has contributed to a range of publications and currently works in the editorial department at Trippin, where he writes frequently about documentary photography and cultural scenes.

Kairo Urovi is an Italo-Albanian photographer living and working in London, UK. 
His work revolves around the complexities of that statement. Of being born and raised in Italy, with a family originally from Shkoder (Albania)
