New book ‘Putting Ourselves in the Picture Part 2: Engaging with Industry’
Co-published by Here Press and Fast Forward: Women in Photography
The book will be launched at an event hosted by the National Galleries of Scotland on December 2.
Building on the success of the first, this new @womeninphoto project aimed to provide marginalised women with opportunities to develop their stories and to start to connect to professionals within the field of photography.
Working again with partners – this time @autographabp creative__response @4refugeewomen@nationalgalleriesscot@stillsedinburgh and @workshowgrow – the project engaged with groups of marginalised and vulnerable women and non-binary people (including refugees). A programme of workshops, mentorship activities and field trips was developed to introduce 30 participants to the photography industry.

How do conspiracy theories arise? What partial view of the world do the people who believe in them see? What contributes to their spread?
There are books that captivate you, that you keep thinking about, certain that you are missing something, and this one by Jack Latham is one of them. If you want to understand this project, you will have to be brave enough to tear out the pages of the book in order to really get to the bottom of it.
A few days before recording this episode, I was reading the book Them by journalist and writer Jon Ronson. In the last chapter, he recounts the night when he and Alex Jones (radio host) infiltrated Bohemian Grove to try to uncover and understand what was happening there. There were rumors of a place where the world's elite met to perform strange rituals and informally decide the fate of the world. The two, being different people with different backgrounds and political ideas, later recounted that they had seen and experienced two completely different things. And this is where Parliament of Owls begins. You'll have to be brave enough to decide to tear out the pages of the book in order to really get to the bottom of it.

New book ‘Post-industrial Dreamscape (Version ii)’ by @jermainefrancisstudio
A new iteration of Jermaine Francis’ video piece ‘Lost in Music: A Post-industrial Dreamscape’ in zine form.
Francis’ kaleidoscopic video – with archival and contemporary footage of dancefloors, communities in protest, industrial spaces and urban regeneration – explores issues of race, politics and class, and their existence within the period referred to by Fredric Jameson as Late Capitalism.
This publication, in which fragments of the video are ‘reversioned’ and combined with additional photography is part of an ongoing development of Francis’ personal exploration of the post-industrial dreamscape in the United Kingdom, and the West Midlands in particular.
The zine includes excerpts of a conversation between the artist and @mattwilliams3101 Published in a limited run of 150 copies, the zine is available on our website with an early bird discount until 6 October.

We’re also bringing other recent releases and some final copies of various books.
Pleased to finally announce that my latest book ‘Beggar’s Honey’ is available to pre-order.
'Beggar’s Honey’ is an exploration into the clandestine world of click farms.
Click farms are shadowy operations that are responsible for artificially inflating the engagement metrics of content on social media, manipulating the algorithms with serious consequences – from influencing consumer behaviour to compromising the integrity of democratic processes.
For this work I aimed to expose the inner workings of click farms for the first time by purchasing my own click-farm and documenting the content I was requested to manipulate. In the book, images of content are paired with photographs I took after getting access to several farms in Vietnam and Hong Kong where this industry is rampant.
There is a special edition of the book that comes with a hand-printed darkroom print.
