‘This talk focuses on a group of photographers who shared a desire to make images that read as lesbian. This was how Tee Corinne described her collaborations with fellow photographer and one-time lover Honey Lee Cottrell. (…)It explores how witnessing through photographic means functioned for these photographers as a form of worldbuilding, one that happened between a scarcity of existing representations and the excesses of desire.’ – The Courtauld
