Detailed Description:
This 5-session workshop explores photography as a tool for narration and expression. Throughout the workshop, participants will work on a theme of their choice and develop a series of photographs, which can either become a complete body of work or serve as the starting point for a new project.
The sessions will cover basic photographic principles while placing greater emphasis on aesthetic approach, artistic intention, and the ethical use of the medium. Participants will explore how different photographic choices, such as colour or black and white, close-up or long shot, angle, framing and composition, can influence the way an image communicates.
Through examples, discussion and the facilitator’s guidance, participants will develop their ability to “see photographically” while becoming more familiar with their own equipment and artistic intentions.
Goals & Context:
The main goal of the workshop is to help participants develop a more conscious and expressive approach to photography, moving beyond technical choices and exploring how images can communicate ideas, stories and perspectives.
The main subjects that will be discussed are:
[1] Photography as a tool for narration and expression
[2] Basic photographic principles and the effective use of equipment
[3] Aesthetic choices and artistic intention
[4] The ethical use of photography
[5] Developing a photographic series
[6] Learning to “see photographically”
[7] The work of established photographers from around the world

Detailed Description:
This workshop is a 90-minute introduction to DJing, designed for people who are curious about the practice but feel overwhelmed by gear, terminology, or where to start. Rather than focusing on technical complexity, the session introduces DJing as a practice: how DJs think, how they build flow and energy, and how music selection shapes an experience. Participants will be guided through the basic concepts of DJing, see a simple live demonstration, and gain clarity on what learning DJing actually involves. The workshop is suitable for complete beginners, music lovers, and early-stage DJs who want a grounded and realistic introduction.
Goals & Context:
Demystify DJing and remove intimidation around equipment and technique
Introduce DJing as a creative and listening-based practice
Help participants understand whether DJing is something they want to pursue further
Create a shared learning experience in a relaxed, non-competitive environment

Detailed Description: We meet to talk about the images we love (or would love to take), how we "read" them, and how we could express ourselves through them (no previous experience or special equipment are required). We bring our favorite photograph, discuss it, learn basic photographic principles, and... take pictures! Using the image we have chosen as a starting point, we will discuss what it means to take photographs and how a camera (or a mobile phone) can be used, sowing the seeds for our own photography project. In a two-session creative workshop, we will explore photographic techniques, learn about the work of selected photographers, and investigate the ethical use of the photographic medium – with the aim of better understanding our personal intentions and discovering new ways of personal expression.
Goals & Context: The aim of this workshop is to allow participants to use photography as a concious medium of expression, and familiarise them with its power of storytelling, raising awareness and enriching imagination. At the same time, through this process, participants will be able to have a better understanding of ethical issues raised when photographing people, places and things. Bringing closer artists and non-professionals, it can function as a starting point of understanding art not as a luxury, not as a privillage, but as a vital aspect of our lives.
