The Photoforum offers a two-day workshop on the relationship between photography and text, aimed at professional photographers and artists with a personal project in progress. Alternating moments of collective exchange, theoretical contributions from professionals, and individual feedback sessions, this workshop proposes to develop new reflections and to accompany the development of the participants’ personal projects, and in particular the way in which the text can be used to support the narrative of the project.

With Anne Golaz, artist, and Danaé Panchaud, curator and director of Photoforum.
