London Alternative Photography Collective / This is not a solution

In June 2019 LAPC ran a residency, inviting a group of darkroom based practitioners to spend 10 days asking the question: How can we foster a more sustainable darkroom practice?

Many questions were asked, many of them remain unanswered. But the important thing is that we have opened up a dialogue, a site of enquirey and a field of discovery. This is just the start of a project that we hope will evolve to incorporate many more people, places and ideas.

Our recipes, ideas, questions and thoughts towards creating a more sustainable darkroom photographic practice have been manifested into the form of this publication, ‘TINA’.

Def. Tina; in Portuguese, is the word used to describe development trays used in the darkroom.
