This interdisciplinary conference examines the role of photography and film narratives in shaping cultural perceptions of the Arctic, Antarctic and the history of polar exploration. Museum collections and archives store photographs and films that were produced using a diverse range of technologies and techniques from scientific experiments with telephoto lenses, flashlight photography, chrono-photography, photomicrography, early colour processes (Autochromes, Paget Plates) remain among the time-lapse and animated studies of wildlife and inhospitable polar climates that were made contemporary to the emergence of cinema. The conference brings together scholars, curators and artists whose work examines the histories, theories, and memory photography and film which intersect with narratives of exploration: its politics, ideologies (gender, class, imperialism) their subversion and subtexts through to its use in educational and entertainment forms both past and present. *Conference Programme and Booking: Arctic Photography, Film and the Archive. <https://www.rmg.co.uk/whats-on/online/conference-arctic-photography-film-exploration-archive>*
