UllxUll Space

Number of participants: 10

Participation fee: €200

Registration: info@lanuu.cat

 

Far removed from the diktat of perfection, the workshop puts the spotlight on the concept of « research » with everything that this entails in terms of opening, sketching, discovering… 

Vanessa Winship lead you to focus your attention on your creative process. Begining by identifying each participant’s expectations through analysis of your previous series and your main sources of inspiration. Then, practical exercises that are both entertaining and stimulating steer your first steps into the territory. 

The aim is be to free yourself from the pressure of having to “take great pictures” in order to search more freely for your own rapport with the location, the landscape and its people.

These personal projects have predominantly been in Eastern Europe but also the USA. Winship's books include Schwarzes Meer (2007), Sweet Nothings (2008) and She Dances on Jackson (2013).

Her first retrospective exhibition was at Fundación Mapfre gallery in Madrid in 2014.Her first major UK solo exhibition is at Barbican Art gallery, London, in 2018. Her work has also been exhibited twice in the National Portrait Galley in London and prominently at Rencontres d'Arles in France.

Winship has won two World Press Photo Awards, 'Photographer of the Year' at the Sony World Photography Awards, the HCB Award (the first woman to do so) and in 2018 an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society. She is a member of Agence Vu photography agency.

MITMAQ COLLECTIVE SELF-PUBLISHING WORKSHOP

 

Workshop given by Mitmaq Ediciones

Sunday, 5 October

Ateneu Municipal

Number of participants: 10 people

10.30am - 1.30pm (4 hours)

Participation fee: €30

Registration: info@lanuu.cat

 

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.

We are motivated by the everyday use of images. We 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.
