Ella Murtha (The Tish Murtha Archive, Newcastle Upon Tyne UK): "The Tish Murtha Archive"
In November 2017, University for the Creative Arts (UCA) @universitycreativearts , UAL Photography and the Archive Research Centre (PARC) @UniversityoftheArtsLondon , Lithuanian Photographers Association @lietuvosfotomenininkusajun3856 and Vitas Luckus Photography Centre organised the 2nd edition of the Fast Forward conference at the National Gallery of Arts in Vilnius.
One of the foci of the second Fast Forward edition was to present, to an international audience new knowledge about the role of women photographers in the cultural, social and political life of the of the Baltic States and former Eastern Bloc countries, which have a rich academic discourse and vibrant artistic culture combining specific national features with particular local experiences and Western ideas. Participating researchers and artists also discussed work by women photographers from India, Myanmar, Norway and United Kingdom. The topics ranged from the emancipatory role of photography in the past to political activism, artistic uses of visual archives and new representations of gender. The conference in Vilnius was an opportunity to share knowledge and consider our potential relationships and networks and to engage in pertinent debate that would influence new academic discourse and provide further context for the study and practice of photography.

What a wonderful presentation. You can feel her passion for the images and her mamas work come thru in her words. I really enjoyed this

A nice introduction and tribute to a brave and brilliant photographer who died too young. I lived in Newport at the time Tish was doing the course but only came across her work by chance a few years ago when someone posted an image on a Newport history FB page of an Ex Miner in the New Found Out pub (in Cambrian Road not Pill), a pub I never ventured in as it was rough and specialised in scrumpy! My loss. Taken aback by the power of the photograph, I dug deeper and discovered Sean Tucker's tribute to Tish on RU-vid which in turn led to me buying the photobook that includes that photo. ❤

Wonderful tribute to your Mam❤ Soulful and insightful insight into the life’s of those who were struggling with lack of education and poverty. Reminds me of my home, Dublin, in the 70-80’s, crumbling buildings, unemployment, teen pregnancy. That said, we had a great sense of community, especially among the women, strong matriarchs. I get that sense from Tish’s photos. I look forward to seeing the rest of her collection . 👏❤️ Paula.

I watched the documentary last night on BBC4. It borough back so many memories for me. I left School in 1981 in Liverpool. Thatcherism was in full, brutal effect. I did a couple of YOP schemes that never led to a proper job. I was forced to move south in 1983 in the search for work. Tish was a very special person and her body of important work needs to be treasured.
