What We See When Invited To Look Differently: Critical Reflections On Socially Engaged Photography

The conversation is the result of multiple exchanges around different projects and contexts of practice undertaken by Anthony Luvera over the course of his career. Driven by a desire to explore Socially Engaged Photography (SEP) within an expanded critical framework, Gary Bratchford and Anthony Luvera discuss the logics of neoliberalism; representational responsibility; the use of data as a mode of address in the context of SEP; the politics of the 'invitation'; and the triangulated partnership between subject, photographer, and audience as productive space for political engagement.
