The Path as Destination Vanessa Winship and George Georgiou
The workshop will look at and discuss each participant’s projects, from a work in progress to a finished work that needs to be fine-tuned. Through discussion and group critiques we will look at each photographer's original intentions and vision.
Working intuitively, we will edit together, in order to develop the project both in its visual language and its concept, seeking successes and failures and possible solutions, methods and approaches to progress your photography to the next level.
With the experience of working side by side for 40 years, but having found a way to develop our own personal vision within the same territory, we will pass on our experiences and how we develop our projects.
On day 1, George and Vanessa will set a small practical exercise that tackles many of the structures of creating a narrative for a photographer.
This will be followed by a quick introduction/presentation of everyone's work. Finally George and Vanessa will make a presentation around their work and process.
Day 2 and 3, Each participant will have a more in depth conversation around their work, taking in group discussion, feedback, direction, references, editing and sequences.
We will finish with a projection of each participant's final edit and closing remarks.
Each participant must bring images of their project, preferably printed on small-format photographic paper. A laptop or other media that will help explain the project is also welcome.

MITMAQ COLLECTIVE SELF-PUBLISHING WORKSHOP
Workshop given by Mitmaq Ediciones
Sunday, 5 October
Ateneu Municipal
Number of participants: 10 people
10.30am - 1.30pm (3 hours)
Participation fee: €30
Registration: info@lanuu.cat
It is important to include the name of the call for entries, ‘Mitmaq worshop’, in the subject line of the email
This meeting aims to propose various triggers to connect knowledge and practices from memory, create and produce stories and a publication from a collective voice. We will build connections that guide us towards the creation of stories that reflect our own visual sensibilities and challenge stereotypes and prejudices, thus allowing us to become our own storytellers.
They are motivated by the everyday use of images. They believe that there are photographs hidden in archives, family albums, phones, etc., that shape our personal memories and have not yet been revealed.
This initiative seeks to create a space where we can share these images and experiences, where we can critically analyse the changes we are undergoing, and experience our connections.
We want to continue amplifying our voices, leaving a collective publication as a visual testimony.
Mitmaq_Ediciones is a self-publishing platform dedicated to photography based in Barcelona. We accompany migrant photographers in our editorial processes and make stories visible from an anti-colonial perspective. We also disseminate publications from the global south that question exoticisation and promote their own imaginaries. We aim for visual creation that questions, dialogues and proposes other ways of inhabiting the world.
