DESCRIPTION

Cities of Light is a series of symposia organised by the Urban Photographers Association (UPA) and partner institutions taking place in European cities in 2018. This is the first in the series, organised in collaboration with Goldsmiths University of London, the University of Paris V and the University of Rennes 2. Transcending traditional boundaries between urban photography, sociology and the humanities, speakers consider representations of the city from differing perspectives, opening the way for dialogue and debate. Speakers include international academics, photographers, filmakers and artists .
