Write briefly how you see the project fitting the criteria

The proposed project gives the voice of people that have been traditionally under- represented in fine art. This may include, but is not limited to, sexual and gender minorities, ethnic and cultural minorities, disabled and elderly communities, and people pushing against historic social and cultural limitations.
The project could not be undertaken without support from Photosynthesis, who will fully subsidise the access of the studio and equipment for the duration of the project. The outputs of the project may not be sufficiently monetised to cover costs. External funding may be sought by artists to cover additional costs beyond equipment and space hire, such as remuneration, publication and exhibition expenses. This allows us to directly identify and address financial barriers.
The project entails multiple uses of the studio and equipment. Original content, processes and delivery will be highly valued. The project must strive for depth and nuance.
The project will be concluded with the publication of visual works in digital or physical formats that will be accessible to an audience. This may include: printed books or zines, exhibition of prints, uploading of video to digital platforms like YouTube, or other substantial publication.
