Throughout 2024, the University of Westminster and The Photographers’ Gallery have invited various artists and photographers to explore the impact of their work within broader discourses, with each speaker discussing how photography is used as a means to challenge visual representation within socially oriented practices.

Amin Yousefi's work examines the event of photography through socio-political perspectives. His primary concern lies in the implications of the archive, exploring violence against protests in the Middle East and how the act of photography can conceptually mirror the structures of these relationships.

Yousefi will be in conversation with writer and curator David Campany. Moderated by artist and educator David Moore.
