IC Visual Lab



An independent arts organisation based in Bristol (UK). We create long-term collaborative projects that bring together communities to explore today’s world, alongside a regular programme of educational workshops, talks and events. Our work bridges the gaps between contemporary photography, expanded storytelling and overlooked archives. We also run an in-house design studio (ICVL Studio), collaborating with international artists and organisations and brands to produce publications, projects and outcomes.
