We invite you to monthly workshops for photography enthusiasts and lovers of the history of the Śródmieście district.
Free admission, limited number of places, registration required: recepcja@dsh.waw.pl, details: dsh.waw.pl
Participants will learn the basics of photography (composition, framing, shooting plans), and their task will be to prepare a photographic story inspired by a selected archival photo related to the Śródmieście district.
The aim of the workshops is to sensitize participants to the reality around us and to awaken interest in local history - a return to events from years past and photographic exploration of their continuation, telling the story of a specific street, building, place, or person.
Together we will develop several example scenarios for photo-stories such as a photo-walk along the street where the hero of the old photograph lived, or a 'photo-diary' of their life. At the end of the workshop, participants will prepare an 'interpretation' of selected photographs. Their photo-stories will be presented at DSH in December 2024.
Anyone can come to the workshops with their own photo from a family archive (condition: the photo must be related to the Śródmieście district and must come from the 20th century) or use photographs selected from the collections of the DSH Oral History Archive and the KARTA Center. The workshops take place in intimate groups of twelve people.
The aim of the project is to involve the residents of Warsaw in co-creating a social archive of the Śródmieście district. The organizer of the workshops is the House of Meetings with History. The project is being implemented as part of the artistic scholarship of the Śródmieście District m.st. of Warsaw.
The workshops will be led by MARZENNA GAWRIŁOW (Szymańska), a cultural animator, educator, photographer, a graduate of the Łódź Film School, currently pursuing postgraduate studies on the role of photography in therapy and personal development. She has presented her photographs during solo and group exhibitions in Poland and Europe. She leads a community of photographers from Wawer and the so-called 'Otwock line' FotoFalenica: https://www.facebook.com/falenickieforumfotograficzne/
