'Family Ties: Subject Missing', Friday 20th November 2015

The presentation deals with considering a new methodology that of ammasing fragmentary information and material to make up a narrative that is unfixed.

Family Ties Network: Subject Missing was the first Family Ties Network (FTN) event to be hosted at The Glasgow School of Art. It asked how can lens-based practices investigate physical absences of parental/maternal figures and move beyond current representations of the missing or the lost within the ‘family’? Guest speakers are invited to bring both personal, autobiographical experiences and distinct methodological approaches demonstrated in their recent work to help discuss this question.
