Study visit: Jo Spence
Join OCA tutor Wendy McMurdo on the 10 September in Edinburgh.
The work of Jo Spence continues to influence and inform debates on photography. In her broad practice, typically involving collaboration with individuals and groups, Spence connected the personal with the political to explore how photography can represent and also construct reality. Through photography, teaching and writing; addressing subjects such as children’s rights, women’s rights, family, class and illness; Spence demonstrated an enduring commitment to her belief in photography’s ability to empower those that use and experience it.
The exhibition at Stills will showcase different aspects of Spence’s photographic output.

Is there any chance of a study visit to Jo Spence at Tate Britain too?
Hello Emma,
Unfortunately we do not have a visit in the pipeline to Tate Britain to see this work as we are running a visit to the Conceptual Art in Britain show there this month. Students sometimes arrange independent visits so it may be worth getting on the forums to see if something could be organised.
