In Conversation: Nadezda Nikolova and Martin Barnes

September 26, 2025

Our new addition to our In Conversation series features artist Nadezda Nikolova and Martin Barnes, Senior Curator of Photography at the V&A. ⁠

Together, they explore Nikolova’s unique approach to cameraless photography, her engagement with landscape as a site of transformation, and the alchemical processes behind her practice.⁠

Barnes brings his curatorial expertise to a rich conversation about process, materiality, and how Nikolova’s work resonates within both historical and contemporary photographic contexts.⁠
