Yasmine Akim is a photojournalist and educator based in London. In this lecture she considers the space for critical thought in contemporary arts education, the photography curriculum and its pedagogies, black feminist thought, what intersectionality can and should look like, and a critique of the colonial white male gaze and its hegemony across documentary photography. She will use examples from her own practice to explore more authentic and empowering portrayals of marginalised people and movements such as Black Lives Matter.

The free public programme of online events co-programmed with Open Eye Gallery included panel discussions, lectures, slideshows and site-specific presentations, with a specific focus on new work, work in progress, or events which demonstrate innovative ways to present publications in digital space. HYPERTEXT is supported by Arts Council England.
