Carlton Hill – The Children of Brighton’s Displaced Community
No full textAn exhibition of photographs taken in the 1930s, originally commissioned by the public health department for site mapping purposes of the Carlton Hill area. Frequently these images inadvertently captured children at work and at play. At the end of 2015, the University of Brighton Circus Street building, which had been home to the BA Photography course for 23 years, was to be demolished. When first built, this was one of three local schools for the Carlton HIll community. At the time of the exhibition, it was one of the few remaining visual traces of the community, which was dispersed to the new estates of Moulsecoomb and Whitehawk when their homes were demolished. In addition to the photographs there was a short documentary about the eminent photographer and cameraman Wolf Suschitzky, made by Julia Winckler and Tony Wallis. Wolf was the cameraman on Children of the City, a 1942 documentary made for the Department of Education. He is also the author of a series of early 1940 show to do it Focal guides on photographing children. The exhibition and projection event were part of a larger SSHRC Insight Grant project, and connect to the VM presentation by Adrienne Chambon and Julia Winckler. The project was supported by Selma Montford (former director of the Lewes Cohen Urban Studies Centre) and Kevin Bacon (Brighton Pavilion and Museum, Digital Development Officer) through the granting of permission to use the exhibited images

Les Enfants De La Cité:the children of Cité Lesage-Bullourde and Boulogne-Billancourt 1949-1954
Get PDFThe output was an exhibition of archival photographs examining the work of photographer Marilyn Stafford, curated by Julia Winckler at the invitation of the Alliance Francaise Toronto, for the Pierre Leon Gallery (2017). Winckler curated a new version of the exhibition, with additional research, for the Maison de la Recherche de l’Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris (2020), delivered as a virtual exhibition. Winckler’s distinctive approach brings ideas and methods from social anthropology to bear on the investigation of photographers’ practices and the wider significance for communities recorded in photographs. The research examined the relationship between Stafford’s practice and the social significance of the resulting work, and developed a curatorial research approach that re-activated the archival photographs to give emotional understanding of the individuals and communities represented. Winckler digitised a number of contact sheets and medium format negatives that had survived since Stafford first took the photographs in the Cité Lesage Boullourde and Boulogne-Billancourt, adjacent Parisian working-class neighbourhoods demolished in the late 1950s, and turned these into large prints for the exhibition. The research highlighted methodological approaches of oral history and geographical placement which enabled this archive imagery to become resonant for modern audiences, while foregrounding some of the complex histories, viewpoints and temporalities of Stafford’s photographs. The exhibition was first shown in Toronto under the title Mémoires photographiques des coins perdus: Les Enfants de la Cité Lesage-Bullourde et Boulogne Billancourt, Paris, 1949-1954 (2017) and subsequently in Paris (virtually, 2020). The exhibitions were complemented by catalogues, including contextualising essays and additional research material, and a short documentary film
A country I always carry with me
No full textDuring 2004, Brighton-based artists Julia Winckler and Nerea Martinez de Lecea worked with a small group of local interpreters, some of whom artists, to create a bookwork called A Country I Always Carry With Me. The project explored themes of home, identity and cultural displacement. The interpreters were invited to reflect on their own experiences of displacement and the process of interpreting using photography and other media through a series of artist-led workshops. The book was co-edited with all project collaborators
