PUTTING OURSELVES IN THE PICTURE PART 2 - ENGAGING WITH INDUSTRY

“把我们自己放在图片中-第二部分：与行业合作”（POITP 2）旨在利用POITP第一部分中合作小组和女性参与者所进行的研究活动，为一群来自移民和难民社区的新兴摄影师在艺术和商业摄影实践领域创造进一步的影响。“把我们自己放在照片中”项目（2021 - 2022,POITP 1）是一个鼓舞人心的培训和指导计划，面向来自难民和移民社区的边缘化女性，她们没有机会接受摄影培训或教育。该项目由Fast Forward创建；创意艺术大学的女性摄影与难民妇女，亲笔，印象画廊，工作展示增长和苏格兰国家画廊合作，由安娜·福克斯教授领导的AHRC EDI参与奖学金资助。最终产生了包括一系列播客、短片和出版物在内的产出。POITP在很多方面都很鼓舞人心，最重要的方面是这些新摄影师如何能够从自己的角度讲述自己的故事，以及他们中的许多人如何融入摄影媒介本身，并开始思考以摄影为生的方法。这就是促使我们申请后续资金的原因。从现在开始，在这个应用程序中，我将把我们将与之合作的女性和非二元群体称为“新兴摄影师”。这个项目是基于这样一种认识，即被边缘化的女性和非二元摄影师的摄影机会很少，而且摄影行业的新兴历史和白人男性自成立以来一直占主导地位的情况越来越需要改变。这项申请是为了后续资助，旨在通过告知当前围绕摄影、妇女和非二元摄影师与就业能力和福祉有关的辩论，增加AHRC EDI奖学金（POITP 1）研究的影响。其目的是与一群新兴摄影师一起发展新技能，为成为摄影行业的专业人士做好准备，并将重要的价值观和知识融入摄影行业（包括摄影师、印刷商、设计师、画廊、档案馆、机构、集体、图书馆、工作室、策展人和编辑），涉及妇女和非二元摄影师的就业，特别是边缘化妇女。POITP 2将促成国际摄影平等、多样性和包容性行动小组的成立，这是一群来自摄影行业和教育界的人，他们将共同努力，为来自不同背景的未来新兴摄影师创造就业和就业能力方面的工具包、建议和技能发展。

Putting Ourselves in the Picture, - Part 2: Engaging with Industry (POITP 2) aims to capitalise on the research activity undertaken by the partnership group and the participant women in part 1 of POITP, to create further impact for a group of emerging photographers who are from migrant and refugee communities, in the worlds of both art based and commercial photography practice. Putting Ourselves in the Picture project (2021 - 2022, POITP 1) was an inspiring training and mentorship program for marginalised women, from refugee and migrant communities, who had no access to photography training or education. The project was created by Fast Forward; Women in Photography based at University for the Creative Arts in partnership with Women for Refugee Women, Autograph, Impressions Gallery, Work Show Grow and National Galleries of Scotland and funded by a AHRC EDI Engagement Fellowship led by Professor Anna Fox. It culminated in the creation of outputs including a series of podcasts, short films and a publication. POITP was inspiring in many ways, the most significant aspects being how these new photographers were able to tell their own stories from their own perspectives and how engaged many of them became with the medium of photography itself and started to think about ways of making a living in photography. This is what has motivated this application for follow on funding. From now on, in this application, I will refer to the female and non-binary groups that we will be working with as the 'emerging photographers'This project is based on the knowledge that opportunities in photography for marginalised women and non-binary photographers are few and far between and there is an increased need for change in the burgeoning histories of the photography industry and the white male dominance of this industry since its inception.This application, for follow on funding, aims to increase the impact of the research from the AHRC EDI Fellowship, POITP 1, by informing current debates around photography, women and non-binary photographers in relation to employability and well-being. The aim is to develop new skills with a group of emerging photographers in preparation for working as professionals in the photography industry and to enshrine important values and knowledge into the photography industry (which includes photographers, printers, designers, galleries, archives, agencies, collectives, libraries, studios, curators and editors) regarding the employment of women and non-binary photographers and in particular marginalised women. POITP 2 will lead up to the creation of The International Photography Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Action Group, a group of people from the photography industry and from education who will work together to create tool kits, advice and skills development on employment and employability for future emerging photographers from diverse backgrounds.
