WHO WE ARE

Lakeside Darkroom (LKSD) is a Community Interest Company (CIC) with a feminist ethos. Established in August 2022, the primary focus of LKSD is to provide a safe, comfortable and empowering learning environment for practitioners of all levels. Our ethos revolves around collaboration, experimentation and making mistakes as essential learning opportunities.

“When there is a good reason for breaking a rule, do not hesitate to do so.” — Berenice Abbott

Our goal is to foster a space for connection and comfort among practitioners of all genders, enabling everyone to fully participate in group or individual activities. As a feminist establishment we promote openness, inclusivity, love, collaboration, intergenerational dialogue and stand against racism, machoism, colonialism and discrimination of any form. Visit us to engage with analogue photography in a supportive environment.

Feminism is about advocating for the equal rights and opportunities of all genders. It's rooted in the belief that everyone, regardless of gender, should have the same rights, opportunities, and freedoms. Inclusivity is fundamental and differences are celebrated. Feminism aims to have all voices heard, regardless of gender, race, age, socioeconomic status, mental or physical ability, sexual identity or religion.

Intersectional feminism acknowledges the complex interplay between different forms of discrimination and oppression. Intersectionality recognises that people may experience multiple layers of marginalisation and aims to address these intersecting inequalities in a holistic manner. Equality aims to leave no one behind, to challenge systems of inequality to create a more equitable society for all.
