Magnum Photos are delighted to announce a 2013 partnership with Goldsmiths,
University of London, starting in the spring in Bognor Regis with a truly distinctive 
photography workshop hosted by icons of the British holiday industry, Butlins.

The partnership is inspired by Goldsmiths’ 2011 international symposium ‘City to Sea’, 
which brought together artists, photographers and urbanists to develop visual 
projects and sociological research exploring culture, tourism, coastal regeneration and 
the heritage of the British seaside.

Following on from the success of this symposium, Magnum photographer Peter Marlow
 will lead a four-day workshop in the seaside resort of Bognor Regis in West Sussex, 
assisting participants with the production of new exploratory projects whilst developing 
photographic identity and visual narratives. During the workshop, participants will work 
alongside Marlow and the City to Sea curators, Rebecca Locke and David Kendall, 
in a daily program of shooting, reviewing, critiquing, mentoring and editing, hosted by Butlins.

The workshop program will be accompanied by contextual presentations and discussions with Goldsmiths, University of London researchers and artists, including Paul Halliday, 
Course Leader of the international MA in Photography and Urban Cultures and Bognor 
Regis historian Sylvia Endacott. Participants will explore how urban photography, architecture, regeneration and planning processes, tourism, migration social history and arts interventions can transform public perceptions and geographical links between cities, coastal towns and surrounding regions.

The workshop will culminate on Friday 15 March in a dual-site, public outdoor projection 
of images produced over the four days, to be held at the historic Bognor Regis Pier, and 
at Butlins’ Shoreline Hotel.

has been made possible with support from Arun District Council and the Bognor Regis 
Regeneration Board. http://www.citytosea.org/index.php?/william-blake-imagination-photo-booth-/
