The Sustainable Darkroom is an artist-led, research community that develops low-toxicity chemistries and practices in photography.
The project was founded by Hannah Fletcher in 2019, and is now run alongside Alice Cazenave and Edd Carr.

The Sustainable Darkroom was born out of a need for collective community action and a desire to ignite change.
We:
exhibit, curate, give lectures and workshops, organise and join residencies, publish research, and more.
