Meeting Memories: workshop on photography and memory / Call for participants

The “Meeting Memories” international workshop offers a space for participants from six different countries to meet and discuss the themes of culture of remembrance, commemorative practices, contemporary history, and totalitarian regimes, through the lengths of photography.

The workshop will consist of theoretical and practical sessions, coordinated by trainers and associates from Documenta and the partner organizations. It will have a hybrid format, with international online sessions led by photographers Sandra Vitaljić and Saša Kralj, followed by study visits to local places of remembrance.

Participants from Croatia will take part in a visit to the Jasenovac Memorial Site on the day of the annual commemoration, if the pandemic-related measures will allow it.

You can take part in the workshop if you are 18+ years old and if you are living in one of the project’s partner countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Italy, Serbia, and Slovenia).

The project is co-funded by the Europe for Citizens programme of the European Union.
