For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource ON THE LINE Description An account of the resource As the UK grows increasingly hostile toward immigrants, ON THE LINE engages what Fred Moten and Stefano Harney describe as “the refusal to be refused” (2013). From Jabalpur, India, Tuhin Chandra portrays the lived reality of an immigrant navigating London’s unforgiving cityscape: long hours in a fast-food restaurant alongside the urgent necessity of creation. With limited time and resources, Chandra uses his immediate conditions as material. This is not escapism, but an act of refusal and resilience. The photographs are produced covertly, in defiance of company policy. Taken on the production line, they transform the prohibition of image-making into a political gesture. Here, mustard, pickles, grease, and exhaustion converge with questions of identity, survival, and expression. The fast-food kitchen — anonymous, repetitive, hostile to individuality — becomes a site of clandestine creativity. The series invokes the line both literally and metaphorically: the assembly belt of burgers and fries, the immigrant artist on the verge of burnout, the refusal to remain confined within prescribed limits. In resisting linearity, the work affirms the spiral of lived experience — cyclical, messy, non-linear — in which suffering and joy remain inseparably intertwined. This is a love letter to expression when everything else feels unlivable. It’s a reminder that even in a kitchen full of noise, grease, and anonymity, the human spirit is still capable of saying something true - Tuhin Chandra.

This opportunity has been fully funded by The Photobook Café and Rapid Eye Darkrooms. During their time with us, students will take part in an intensive, multi-strand programme designed to provide practical, professional experience across the breadth of a working cultural organisation. The placement is structured across four core strands, enabling students to develop a broad and practical understanding of working within a cultural organisation. Through research and writing, they engage critically with the photobook collection while producing a substantial written project; through curation and public programming, they gain hands-on experience in exhibition-making, contributing to displays, talks, and artist liaison; through communications and documentation, they build skills in audience engagement across social media, editorial content, and visual documentation; and through facilitation and community engagement, they support and co-deliver zine workshops and participatory sessions. In addition, the programme includes specialist sessions such as an industry shadowing visit to Rapid Eye, offering insight into a leading independent photography space, and a business operations session led by The Photobook Cafe’s Director, introducing the practical and financial realities of running a sustainable cultural venue. Throughout April, a curated selection of photobooks studied by the cohort will be on public display in The Photobook Cafe and Rapid Eye Darkrooms. Each of the ten participating students has selected titles that reflect and support their individual practices and interests in printed matter. These selections are accompanied by a written research thesis, produced in-house as a series of zines, with each publication entering The Photobook Café’s permanent collection for visitors to read and reference. This work is particularly significant in the context of increasing inaccessibility to specialist materials, photobooks are often difficult to access, even within universities where library collections are being reduced. Through the placement, each student spends approximately 70 hours engaging directly with our collection, developing a deeper understanding of how an archive is built and activated, while also bringing attention to underrepresented publications and expanding the breadth of sub-genres within the existing collection. Alongside the physical displays at The Photobook Café and Rapid Eye darkrooms, the exhibitions will also be presented within our online photobook collection. This digital iteration ensures that the featured publications and research can be accessed by audiences worldwide, extending the reach and longevity of the programme beyond the physical space. The selected photobooks include Open Mic by Ewen Spencer, Bare With Me by Begum Yetis, Everwonderful by Jeano Edwards, The Wedding by Nick Waplington, and Metamorphosis, A Retrieval of Love by Samuel Zhang. Also featured are Iceland: Living with the Elements by Laura Kopold, Ogrody Szczęśliwości (Gardens of Bliss) by Artur Rychlicki, Somerset: A View from the Hill by Matilda Temperley, Wheal by Jack Whitefield, and Parways: A Photographic Journal Along the Ridgeway by Matt Writtle. Further works include English Landscapes by Fionn Reilly, Après l'Été by Roberto Badin, An American Mile by Kyle McDougall, Silvertown by Allan Forrester Parker, A Star in the Sky by Laura El-Tantawy, J’ by Pamela Maddaleno, RWS by Alisha Brocklebank, and Front Door by Ocean Farini.
