Participants: Flinta only

Number of participants limited to 25.

Rethinking your own role - beyond norms and clichés in images and visual design Visual design is always also a form of politics: it creates visibility, forms narratives, reproduces or questions norms. This is particularly evident in pop and club culture, for example in photographs that stage, accompany, market or document artists. In this workshop, we will work together to develop photographic strategies that can be used to depict the identities of musicians beyond stereotypical role models.

How can an image create closeness without clichés? How can an attitude be shown without repeating familiar codes? What visual language supports self-determination, difference and empowerment?
The day is dedicated to the theme of community; we understand photography here as a collective space for negotiating visibility and belonging.

Please bring your own press images, mood boards, visual concepts and ideas if they already exist.
