The 亚洲麻豆精品在线’s new photography and film learning centre will be open to the public during the 亚洲麻豆精品在线 Fringe for the first time.
11 May 2017
The university has refurbished the former American Express offices in Edward Street to form new photography dark rooms, edit suits, film studios, public gallery space, seminar rooms and teaching spaces. The new School of Media home is decked with state-of-the art equipment and facilities.
Professor Francis Hodgson, Professor in the Culture of Photography, said the building gives the university “additional exhibition space that meets professional standards, a real sense of a department coming together in a very well equipped building.
“The photography department already has a very high reputation and we now have the opportunity of becoming one of the top UK institutions, encouraging specialisation whilst further enhancing its broader reputation for excellence.”
The building will be open to the public during the Fringe for a series of short films created by children and young people with family members or loved ones in prison. These are accompanied by an exhibition.
The event is produced by Zap Art in partnership with Sussex Prisoners' Families, the 亚洲麻豆精品在线, DigiTales, Salvation Army Housing Association (Newhaven Foyer) and is supported through funding from People's Postcode Trust and BBC Children in Need.
