The Darkroom Social is a project founded by artists and researchers Isobel Markus-Dunworth and Remi Siciliano with the aim of creating a community of alternative photographic practitioners with an interest in material experimentation, collaboration and environmentally conscious practice. After teaching analogue photography for over a decade at the University of Sydney, Isobel’s current research investigates how historical photographic processes can be delivered with a reframing of sustainability and environmental ethics. Remi’s practice investigates how the material and receptive nature of analogue photography can lend itself to collaborative experiments and encounters with other organisms and landscape processes.
