This workshop is inspired by Goldsmiths’ 2011 international symposium ‘City to Sea’, which brought together artists, photographers and social scientists to develop visual projects and sociological research exploring culture, tourism, coastal regeneration and the heritage of the British seaside.

Following on from the success of the symposium, Magnum photographer Peter Marlow lead a four day workshop at the seaside resort of Bognor Regis in West Sussex, assisting participants with the production of new exploratory projects whilst developing photographic identity and visual narratives. During the workshop, participants worked alongside Marlow and the City to Sea curators / artists / researchers Rebecca Locke and David Kendall, in a daily program of shooting, reviewing, critiquing, mentoring and editing, hosted by Butlins. The workshop programme was accompanied by contextual presentations and discussions with Goldsmiths, University of London researchers and artists, including Paul Halliday, Course Leader of the international MA in Photography and Urban Cultures and historian Sylvia Endacott.

This event was made possible through the generous support of Butlins, Bognor Regis whose Resort Director Jeremy Pardey said: “Butlins is delighted to welcome this prestigious event and proud to host it on behalf of Bognor Regis."

Butlins
Billy Butlin opened his first resort in 1936. Right from the start,
his aim was to bring a little colour and happiness into the lives of hardworking families. Billy’s principles for the perfect holiday were as straightforward and down-to-earth as the man himself. And to this day, while a lot has changed, we still believe in his mission to delight.
