Talk
i3 Photo Lecture: Alicia Bruce
“Trump said my hoose was a pigsty when they tried for compulsory purchase orders. Well, it’s my pigsty. I said, it’s my home and they won’t put me out of it. There’s been nae positives. He’s ruined the dunes; he’s just ruined everything. Everything he touches, he ruins. He’s scared away all the wildlife apart from deer – that’s aboot all ye see doon here now.”
MPS Digital Photography presents a talk with Alicia Bruce, an award-winning working-class photographer, community collaborator, educator and activist based in Scotland. Her photography sits between documentary and staged imagery focusing on communities, environments and human rights. Bruce is a member of the collective Women Photograph and a teaching fellow at University of Edinburgh. Her photographs are held in several private and public collections including National Galleries of Scotland, Martin Parr Foundation and St Andrews University. I Burn But I Am Not Consumed (Daylight 2023) is Bruce’s first monograph and documents 16 years of Donald Trump’s impact on the community and environment in the north east of Scotland during his quest to build “the greatest golf course in the world”.
The i3: Images, Ideas, Inspiration lecture series has returned to in-person events. The series continues to feature leading photographers, artists, editors, gallerists and industry experts. This summer, Daylight books co-founder Michael Itkoff is the guest curator and host.
Registration is required; the event location will be given to all registrants.
