On 2 August Elizabeth Ransom joined the Kinship Photography Collective for an in-depth discussion on the significance of place. We explored how alternative forms of photography can be used to navigate stories of global movement and migration. 
Based between the Pacific Northwest and the South of England artist, researcher, and educator Elizabeth Ransom draws from her own personal experience of migration to visualize the complex and individual understanding of transnationality.
From homesickness to place attachment Ransom uses alternative photographic processes such as cyanotype, film soup, and soil chromatography to investigate the everyday lived experiences of those who have their roots in multiple locations. Reflecting on themes of displacement, memory, rootedness, and belonging particularly from the perspective of migrant women Ransom takes us through three of her most recent bodies of work Immigration Day (2019), The Woods (2021-2022), and Homesick (2021-2023). Ransom is also the founder and director of Women Alternative Photography Group a feminist research project celebrating women, non-binary, and LGBTQIA+ artists from all backgrounds working with alternative photographic processes. Ransom introduces the ongoing interview series and some of the work she is doing to advocate for women working with analog photography.
