EXTRA - Photography in context is a periodical Dutch publication which appears every six months. EXTRA is thematic and contains 15 in-depth articles on photography. Made and published in collaboration with FoMu (Photography Museum) Antwerp. Each issue focuses on a specific theme inviting contributions from international photographers, critics, curators and theorists, bringing together visual work and critical writing in the Dutch language. Issue #24 focuses on the theme Elitair (Elitist), examining the sociology of taste, cultural gatekeeping, and the hierarchies of the photography world. The issue investigates who determines photographic value, the role of institutions, art markets, and critics in shaping the canon, and the boundary between insider knowledge and popular accessibility.
