TIME FOR A WELL DESERVED BREAK

ByAlina

We have had a very busy spring learning about documentary photography, looking for stories to tell, realising them and finally organising an exhibition in one of the busiest spots in Gdynia to share the work of our participants. Ewa and Magda were very dedicated and we wish them to keep on practicing telling their stories and to continue sharing them with the world.

We’re going to take a little break but small plans are starting to take shape with a possible workshop in October in Lebanon.

Meanwhile if you would like to order a print of one of the photos taken by our workshop participants – feel free to get in touch!
