The Changing Climates seminar will look at "what does creative engagement and the role of photography mean in our changing economic and cultural climate? Are artists documenters of the change? Are they part of it ? Will they direct the change and how will it be resourced?

The seminar will take place on 25 November at the Royal College for the Blind in Hereford from 1.30pm until 5pm. Speakers include Jaime Jackson, project director of the festival, as well as Stephen Snoddy of the Southampton City Art Gallery, and Dew Harrison, the associate dean for research and postgraduate studies at the School of Art and Design of the University of Wolverhampton.

Also joining the panel are Anne de Charman of Meadow Arts, and Mariele Neudecker, an international artist that has recently been shown at the Tate Gallery.

The event will also include a presentation by Time Fairs and Benjamin D. called Carbon Generations. It was conceived as "a personal, domestic and intimate journey through performance into the emotional landscape of oil."
