We are very pleased to announce that Award winning British photographer Simon Roberts (b. 1974) will be visiting the depratment on Tuesday 7 May to discuss his practice to visual imaging students. Roberts has exibited and published widely and his photographs reside in major public and private collections, including the George Eastman House, Deustche Borse Art Collection and Wilson Centre for Photography.

Roberts has published two critically acclaimed monographs  Motherland (Chris Boot, 2007) and We English (Chris Boot, 2009). The latter was voted by Martin Parr as one of the best photography books of the past decade. More recently he has published The Election Project (2010) and This Is A Sign (2012).

Please join us for what will be a fascinating talk.

This will be the closing visiting guest lecture this academic year.
