GLUE: Book Fair and Creative Programme

Hot Potato and contributing artists discuss a new age of censorship and its impact on the arts. What is it to have a voice in the current media landscape and who is permitted to make work? What is the role of the photographer if they are prevented from communicating in their medium?

Discover the full programme here.
Bio
Hot Potato
, founded by Naoise O’Keeffe, began in Ireland in 2018 with the aim of providing an alternative to typical newsprint with the creative interpretation of politics and global affairs through photography and journalism. Each issue the Hot Potato team assigns a topic to an artist and a journalist who both research and respond independently. 

Once the artist produces a visual response and the journalist produces a body of text, they meet for the first time in print. The newspaper usually contains between 20-30 topics and the team spends many months producing an issue. Our aim is to provide an alternative to both media production and consumption by examining the photographs capacity to reveal new, often latent relationships with the reader.
