Dark Matter

The Dark Matter residency aims to provide a supported opportunity for artists whose practice incorporates darkroom-based or other alternative processes. The residency aims to foster the creation of innovative image-based works that involve artistic experimentation, critically engage with contemporary darkroom-based practice as well as exploring social, political, environmental and aesthetic questions of contemporary relevance.
