Alecsandra Dragoi is one of our favourite photographers, but that’s not why we encourage you to visit “In Our Time” - MA Documentary Photography and Photojournalism degree show. Alecsandra is an award-winning skilled and gifted photographer who just finished her Master’s at University of Westminster. Great opportunity to check out her project “Parallel Worlds”.
“In Our Time” is an exhibition of work from MA Documentary Photography and Photojournalism students graduating from University of Westminster.
This exhibition features photographic and video works that explore timeless issues of human existence; conflict, cultural identity, community, health and other pertinent themes are approached with new contemporary perspectives.
A selection of the work will be featured in a series of articles on the BBC’s In Pictures blog, commencing 10th August.
Ben Edwards, Course Leader describes the work; “the nature and discourse of photography is forever attempting to reinvent itself, as this year’s MA students have been investigating innovative visual semantics to represent stories and subjects.”
“In Our Time” is the work of 16 graduating and 2 interim students from 12 different countries globally. This wealth of backgrounds creates a diverse range of visual practices and techniques. Previous work has been featured in publications worldwide and won awards for excellence.
On Saturday the 29th August, there will be a public and free symposium chaired by Ben Edwards with a panel at the forefront of contemporary British documentary practice: Mark Neville, Lisa Barnard, Edmund Clark and a final panel member to be announced.
The graduating students exhibiting work are: Neil Baird, Andrew Baldo, Clare Bennett, Emma Louise Charalambous, Jonathan Clifford, Alecsandra Dragoi, Sigrid Haaland, Maryam Khastoo, Ekaterina Leonova, Kevin Percival, Lukas Rappallo, Kiki Streitberger, Rita Tudela, Alena Vasilyeva, Jake Vyner and Tingshu Wang.
