An online presentation: Photography as Activism New Practices. CRUX Photography Research Network brings together creative individuals who believe in making work that matters about social and environmental topics and wish to use their practice to speak to wide audiences. In the first of CRUX’s 2025 speaker series we are bringing together two amazing photographers, Greg Constantine and Nicola Tree, who will present collaborative, co-participatory projects that resonate with CRUX’s themes.

CRUX is a international network of photographic artists, researchers, educators, and theorists who work in a range of genres. Supported by Arts University Bournemouth (AUB), CRUX projects and its members will explore key challenges of our time such as climate change, social deprivation, inequality, racism and other forms of discrimination.

CRUX members believe that theory and practice should have a meaningful impact on individuals, communities and society at large so cultural value and significance to humanity underscores all CRUX work.  Public engagement is at the heart of all CRUX projects, so CRUX will disseminate its findings online, in print, and with public programming such as public exhibitions, panels and events.

This guest lecture is coordinated by CRUX Photography Research Network
