Sustainable Darkroom is seeking written contributions for a collection of essays and creative texts exploring the afterlives and futures of photography, titled “Bury After Reading: The Afterlife of Images.” Open to practitioners, writers, researchers, and artists worldwide, the call invites voices that go beyond technical processes into the environmental, social, and political dimensions of photographic practice. The publication aims to challenge existing structures of image-making and imagine futures where sustainability and ecological regeneration are central. Final texts should be 1,000-6,000 words and could include historical reflections on photography’s extractive materials, speculative texts imagining new systems for photographic production post-climate breakdown, critical responses to consumerist “green” solutions, or creative texts imagining alternative futures for photography outside consumerist frameworks. This is NOT seeking recipes or material experiments divorced from wider socio-ecological-political investigation. Selected contributors receive editorial and critical support, a copy of the finished book, and a writer’s fee of \u00a3150. Applications require a proposal (200-500 words), short bio (max 200 words), and website link. Generously supported by the Siobh\u00e1n Coward Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
