Aims and scope
Journal of Photography and Visual Arts is an international refereed journal publishes quarterly online open access by KMF. It aims to create the ideal channel for an open and global discussion about the context in which the discipline sits, and not just about the output of artists, exhibiting venues, and publishing houses. The Journal critically focuses on aspects often overlooked that affect the discipline, zooming out to observe the whole scene, to analyse what exactly is happening, what power relationships are at play. It is about preventing the repetition of obsolete and flawed structures, as much as highlighting the work of those who constructively are expanding what we still call Photography into new horizons. More than a portfolio magazine, it is a space for reflection on new practices, new ways of thinking, shining a light wherever needed. Our interest in energising a critical engagement with Photography and Visual Culture, Cultural Studies, and Critical Thinking.
