(Re)viewing race, the marketplace, and public space through the lens of photography.

This collaborative piece focuses on insights, personal experiences, and conceptual considerations about race, identity, and Black lives in different marketplace and public space settings in Britain (Glasgow, Scotland and Cardiff, Wales). We draw on the power of photography to illuminate issues regarding the relationship between race, antiblackness, intersecting oppressions, activism, marketing, media, and the aesthetics of public spaces. The discussion explores questions concerning who and what is (un)seen and (re)presented in images of marketplace and public space contexts. Utilising critical reflexivity, we observe and (re)view the myriad ways that the practice of photography – the framing of the lens as well as the (re)production and distribution of photos – captures, capitulates, and counters hegemonic understandings of (y)ourselves and other Black and racialised people in spaces of 'consumption'.
