The complexity surrounding the construction of personal and social identity will be explored in Photo-ID, a major exhibition at The Forum, in August 2009. It will present the work of nine specially commissioned photographers, who will each visually explore issues around identity. Their work will be shown within a context that explores how recent information about the human genome and its variations affects how we think about identity, now and in the future. Photo-ID will be open to the public, and will be accompanied by a full programme of ancillary educational activities, a book and website.

 

The Norfolk Contemporary Art Society (NCAS) has funds to commission work from nine photographers.  Applications are particularly invited from emergent-career photographers, and some preference will be given to applicants who are within four years or so of completing their formal studies.  However, there is no age or geographical limit on applicants.  Application Forms and further details can be downloaded from the website at www.photo-id.org.uk.

 

Photo-ID is a partnership project between Norfolk Contemporary Art Society, Norwich University College of the Arts and The Forum Trust.
