I AM A DARKROOM showcases the work of artists in the Sustainable Darkroom, a grassroots organisation at the forefront of working toward an ecological future for photography. From kitchen tables to at-home darkrooms, and even the dirt outdoors - these artists are challenging toxic legacies to build a new ecology of photography. An ecology not just of sustainable materials, but the political and social entanglements that arise each time you press the shutter. Developed in a blend of coffee and home-grown herbs, the film is cut with experimental vignettes showcasing Sustainable Darkroom research. From images developed in household waste to footage printed on waste coffee cups, and pelargonium leaves as a new photographic paper - I AM A DARKROOM welcomes the rough, handmade hands-dirty approach of an ecologically aware future.
