Curator and Art Historian with a PhD in Visual Culture. Focuses on exhibition design, historical context, and the narrative development of photographic bodies of work.
Dr. Alistair Davenport has curated over 40 exhibitions for institutions ranging from municipal museums to avant-garde project spaces. His expertise lies in the intellectual and narrative framing of photography, helping artists move beyond single images to create cohesive, meaningful series. He writes extensively on the history of movements like Pictorialism and their modern resurgence, as well as the practicalities of exhibition logistics—from hanging heights to lighting design. Alistair's guidance is essential for photographers preparing for solo shows or seeking to have their work acquired by public archives. He champions the idea that context is as valuable as the content itself.
