Throughout this period the participants will develop an authorial project which will take the shape of either a book or an exhibition.
One of this programme's main focus is the ongoing production and the regular presentation of works and images, thus reinforcing the importance of the process. Experimentation is key, so that any attempts and mistakes are welcomed as central to the serendipity of the proposed practices. With that in mind, it is adamant to promote a collective dynamic of participation and exchange, and a critical commitment towards reciprocal discussion and analysis of everyone's work.
The course is divided into three main blocks that keep shifting throughout the year.
- Histories of Photography: a series of 8 conversations around photography. Each of these classes proposes a dwelling through a given subject, evoking and analysing different photographic manifestations, readings and possibilities.
- Invited artists: a series of six lectures by invited artists presenting their works and talking about their practices. The two last invitees will also view and comment on the works produced by the participants, with their final project and presentation in mind.
- Practical classes: these classes will focus on the practical production of the participants. They will favour the viewing and analysis of the ongoing projects, which are expected to be shown and assembled regularly as temporary installations of work in progress throughout the year.
Calendar: The sessions will take place at Atelier de Lisboa every Tuesday. Except on the 24 and 31 December 2024 and 10 June 2025. The last four sessions will be scheduled to prepare the exhibition at the end of the course, after summer in September/ October 2025.
