Interview: Olivia Arthur
For its seventh edition, Brighton Photo
Biennial returns to examine the politics of identity and representation
through the lens of fashion and style photography. Three major exhibitions
include a European premiere of a show from the USA, alongside two new
commissions: one on British youth style; the other exploring sexuality and
identity in Mumbai and Brighton.
Olivia Arthur (b1980) is a London-based
photographer, who has worked for many years on the East-West cultural divide.
As one of the two artists involved in the latter collaborative project, commissioned
by Photoworks and Focus Festival
Mumbai, and together with Bharat Sikka, she spent time in India working with
and photographing LGBTQ and women’s communities, in response to the politics of
fashion photography.
