The technique of light painting is almost as old as photography itself. In a completely darkened room, the aspects of a picture that are to be conveyed are worked out with self-chosen, very different light sources. Everything else remains black. With a little practice and expertise, very expressive pictures can be created. In the context of the exhibition "Blind Photographers" the photographers of the "Photo Studio for Blind Photographers" offer Lightpainting Workshops for sighted people and instruct them in the technique they master with virtuosity. This workshop is aimed at beginners and covers the basics of light painting. Previous knowledge is not required.

"In the framework of the Portfolio-Review, photographers and photo artists from Berlin can present their work to experts from galleries, museums, picture editors and publishers. In intensive 20-minute one-to-one discussions they have the opportunity to make new professional contacts and to receive valuable feedback. The Portfolio-Review will conclude with the so-called Portfolio-Walk, to which the general public is invited to review the works of the participating photographers. The programme is funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the State of Berlin. Therefore only photographers from Berlin can participate."

Blinde Fotograf*innen – das klingt nach einem Paradox. Ist der Akt des Fotografierens nicht unweigerlich mit dem Sehen verbunden? Die Ausstellung BLINDE FOTOGRAF*INNEN beweist das Gegenteil: Um visuelle Kunst zu erschaffen, bedarf es einer starken inneren Vision, ausgefeilter Technik und Teamwork. Im Gespräch mit dem Galeristen Johann König diskutieren Fotograf*innen des Fotostudios für Blinde Fotograf*innen über die Bedeutung visueller Wahrnehmung, über Kunst und deren Rezeption.

Mit: Johann König, Galerist, Susanne Emmermann und Gerald Pirner, Fotostudio für Blinde Fotograf*innen. 

Moderation: Katharina Mouratidi, künstlerische Leiterin f3 – freiraum für fotografie

On 23.9.2020, a new EU directive will come into force, which obliges public bodies to make their websites barrier-free, i.e. to provide them with so-called Alt-Texts or Image Descriptions. Our workshop teaches the basics of understandable image descriptions: The sighted participants describe selected pictures for the blind participants. In the interaction of the mixed group of sighted and blind participants, the attention is directed to a precise transmission of what is seen and visual perception is trained. The workshop is aimed at directors and employees of museums, galleries and cultural institutions as well as to freelance museum educators and education officers and aims to support them in their daily work. Prior knowledge is not required.
