Peer hangout 20.6.23

A good mix of OCA post grads and undergrads.

Faith was able to direct me to OCA Creative conversations where I can access the session which I couldn’t attend live, The Business of Being a Creative, with Nick Dunmur, Wed 19th June, 2 pm – 3.30 pm: https://learn.oca.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=354

I shared my success with the Glasgow Gallery of Photography and August Suboart magazine. I learnt that Suboart will tag me in their Instagram posts and then I can follow others who have been published – and they will publish me.

Join shutter hub and they share your good news and include your work in their yearbook

Miriam shared that here A3 assignment was role related to the photographic industry

During our discussions I thought for Assignment 3 using the question, why are you doing a photography degree? What were your intentions? Or did you intend to take your work beyond graduation? Or how are you taking your work forwards?

Lynda suggested as contacts Rob Townsend, Sarah Jane field?

We discussed assignment 2 for which its just theoretical how I’m going to publicise

For Assignment 3 Michelle suggested a zine would be cheaper maybe combined with a virtual exhibition -Kunstmatrix

Matt suggested use Art rabbit to publicise

Leaflets: Mixam printing use for quotes, or local printers?

Shutter hub book fair – use for contacts

Sarah Gallear suggested a handmade book: https://makingaphotobook.co.uk/

Susan used: https://exwhyzed.com book publisher

We discussed how on or own we feel during SYP, in terms of little OCA support; we wondered if this is intentional as we should be almost independent now and how valuable our peer support is now.
