    Guest Room:
    The Sustainable Darkroom & Tamsin Green

    Guest Room is all about sparking collaboration. For this edition, Hannah Fletcher and Alice Cazenave from The Sustainable Darkroom are joining forces with artist and designer Tamsin Green, founder of the Sustainable Photobook Publishing (SPP) network.

    Together, they’ve created the theme: "New Grounds."

    This theme considers the critical need to find new grounds for navigating volatile environments, and for building new worlds to come. "New Grounds" speaks to the acknowledgement of the ground as many things; as territory, geopolitics, and multi-species worlds; a series of relations indexing the past, and futures-in-the-making.

    "New Grounds" also invites artists thinking with the ground as a means to become located and connected, which may involve unpicking, disassembling and recontextualising. Through the ground we are connected to the earth; on the ground we seek insights and responses. There is no single way to move forward; each person navigates ways of being and belonging.

    Our present also calls for new ways of being that center care and collaboration, not only between humans, but also the more-than-human world. We hope to see photography used as a tool to uncover ideas and suggestions of what is to come. Collectively, what "new grounds" can we encounter?
