Organised by the MOME Centre for Photography for the fourth time, the international Work in Context symposium explores current directions in Central European photography, along with their theoretical and social contexts. This year’s edition, under the subtitle Peripheral Priorities:!, sets out to reconsider the challenges facing contemporary photography by drawing on the contradictions embedded in public discourse (i.e. oxymorons) such as “war for peace” or “false truth”. Speakers addressing the social, historical, and political roles of photography offer nuanced, multi-perspective interpretations, engaging with themes such as memory, post-socialist legacies, and marginalised creative positions.

Co-operatives: Living with Water Collectively is the title of an upcoming design sprint and intensive course week, organised in collaboration with the British Council, the Global Housing Design Programme at the Liverpool School of Architecture, the MA programme of the MOME Architectural Knowledge Centre, and the MOME Society & Action Lab.
