Workshops - FUTURES Annual Event in Prague 2025
During this year FUTURES Annual Event, hosted by Fotograf Zone in Prague between October 3-5, FUTURES artists will have the opportunity to take part in dedicated workshops focusing on building narratives, the role of titles and annotations, and the relationship between photography and algorithms.
With writer Petra Hůlová they will learn strategies of combining text with visual material in order to create new meaning and gain knowledge about subversive potential of annotation.
Artists Tereza Zelenková and Peter Watkins will challenge the workshop participants to edit and re-edit their own photographic series responding to prompts and to explore unusual sequencing strategies and narrative framings.
The third workshop will be led by an experimental artist Oliver Chanarin who will encourage the artists to work with their own, found or archival photographs, freely combining them with text-based or coded elements while putting emphasis on playful approaches to language, shifting meanings, and critical reflection on contemporary visual culture.
The workshops during the Annual Event are curated exclusively for FUTURES artists.
FUTURES is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. Union. The Swiss program is supported by Pro Helvetia.
