Photo Café: talks on photography is a conversation series about photography with industry professionals. Here we talk about topics such as analogue photography, education, getting your work seen, and opportunity while also digging deeper to address the impact of systemic inequality. 

Photo Café is a community program open to everyone. We encourage our audience to ask questions, network, and join us in our conversations to create better industry standards for everyone. 

Photo Café is a SeeC x BKC Production; Seeing Collective (SeeC) and BKC, a community-focused photography and creative education center, partnered to host this public programming. 

Accessibility: BKC is on the ground floor with a half step into the classroom. However, our bathroom is four steps down into the basement. We will do all that we can to make our space accessible to you. Please be in touch with any accessibility concerns/feedback.
