Japan Photobook Evening with PAX & Pompey Darkroom

The Japan Photobook Evening will bring together talks and photobook sharing, giving photography and photobook enthusiasts the chance to discover more about Japanese photography.

You'll have the chance to take a look through and be inspired by a range of Japanese photobooks from the Arts University Bournemouth's (AUB) collection. AUB specialist subject librarian Alan Turner will also provide an introduction to the collections held at the university, including details on how members of the public can access these.

This will be followed by an illustrated talk, 'From Photobook to Installation: Japanese Photography in the 1960s and ’70s’ by art historian and critic Dr Jelena Stojkovic, author of ‘The Impossible Avant-Garde: Surrealism and Photography in 1930s Japan’.
