About In Between? – image and memory
23 October–7 November 2020, International Online Photography Workshop and Competition
In Between? is an educational project initiated in April 2016. The participants are given an opportunity to conduct research in the European borderland regions using oral history methodology.
This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we invite young people interested in visual arts and memory studies to take part in a slightly different version of In Between?, which does not require traveling across Europe and live meetings, yet can still ensure a vivid dialogue between participants.
New application deadline: 7 October 2020

About the location
At your place!
Europe and the rest of the world has found themselves in 2020 in special circumstances. When the pandemic, its manifestations and consequences have become the reference point for academic reflection and artistic activity, a number of terms can be rethought. When state administrative borders are restored and people cannot travel abroad, we would like to encourage young people to find traces of memory in their immediate neighbourhood, their own towns or own districts. What testimonies of unique local history may that new perspective reveal? Let us show that memory culture can still be a platform of cross-border dialogue between contemporariness and the past.
About the webinars
This year's formula assumes that after qualification, a group of 15 persons will be offered two webinars with Katarzyna Sagatowska - a Polish photographer, lecturer, organiser of art events and artistic curator of our project. Participants will be invited to obligatorily participate in two webinars on 23 and 26 October, first one introducing participants to each other and presenting the idea and rules of the project, the second one as a lecture on artists dealing with photography as a medium to cover topics of history and memory in the 20 century. After the webinar participants will be offered individual on-line meetings with the project’s curator scheduled individually throughout the time of project delivery.
