Photography's gestures can often be quiet, humorous and playful, and these small gestures can be the most exceptional. Photography's visuality lends itself to the passing of ideas while its subtlety makes it all the more pressing. Through a collaborative curation of pieces of work by each member, the 2020 Collective seeks to explore photography’s capabilities, to show its stretch and explore its potential as an emotive language. Through a collective dialogue of all our works, we will discuss these emotive potentials photography holds to act as a driver for change, awareness and understanding.

2020 Collective is composed of twenty artists who use the photographic medium to create and collaborate internationally. Originally formed during their time at London College of Communication (University of the Arts London), they became consolidated with their first public exhibition Environ at Copeland Gallery, March 2019. 2020 Collective explores adaptation to the new world through curation and photography, giving voice to a new generation of young photographers.

2020 Collective includes: Tami Aftab, Joe Beeching, Lily Boyle Byron Chambers, Tino Chiwariro, Holly de Looze, Wojciech Fec, James Greenhalgh, Matilda Hallander, Frederik Marks, Maite de Orbe, Dina Patey, Tom Skinner, Joe Smith, Phoebe Somerfield,
Peter Stewart Sykes, India Tuersley
