Running 4 April-5 May
At The Library Project
Sites of Dreaming is a project documenting the lives of trans people in Finland. The project uses photography as a tool for both archiving and building a community. Within the work, Shia tries to create moments of care and safety as a contrast to the transphobic bureaucracy of Finnish healthcare.
In a world where dialogues surrounding transness are usually centred on our fighting moments, our protests, our trauma and pain, Sites of Dreaming brings a quieter reality to the forefront. One where power is found in everyday domestic moments – Shia Conlon

Deadline midnight Friday 3rd May 2024
Comprising already 66 publications, the TLP Editions series provides a growing collection of accessible and inexpensive publications featuring a broad variety of contemporary photographic practices. Running since 2017, PhotoIreland continues the publishing project in 2024 with a new call for proposals.
We are calling all photographers and artists from, or practicing in, Ireland, to present a brief and coherent project for inclusion in the TLP Editions publication series. The series intends to highlight the variety of existing practices and interests, and there is no theme to adhere to. Proposals may include old work, archival, as much as recent or new in-development work. You may propose more than one project.
