Jo Spence and the Half Moon Photography workshop
March 24, 2006 8:08 AM Subscribe
Community photography projects abounded during the 1970's, but the most influential was the Half Moon Community Workshop. Besides the workshop, this group also ran a gallery and a journal, Camerawork that introduced many British photographers to a theoretical and politically engaged aesthetic practice.
Much of the theory espoused in Camerawork might seem naive or overly polemical for today's jaded post-Marxist intellect, but one thing that came out of the collective that does stand the test of time is the work of Jo Spence.

1 A programming project taken on in a pub, that was supposed to take a few hours, and which ended up with my laptop being a part of the exhibition some four or five weeks later. I got a bottle of rum for my time. Why is it the most fun jobs are the ones that involve payment in booze?
