🏢 About the local organisation
Kosjeric will host four different camps this year at the same time (plus separate workshops with kids), trying to connect different art form and bring more cultural activities to this place for the 16th year. Local youth will get a chance to participate in workshops related to different art forms, organized by the volunteers and during the workcamp each group will perform in the village while preparing for the final manifestation.
The main point of photography group is to combine all knowledge and experience of photography art between the participants, organized by workshop leader.
Partner: The idea of the Kosjeric Art Camp originated from The Club of Friendship based at The Centre for Anti-War Action in Belgrade. The camp was deliberately set outside the city of Belgrade in order to make a smaller local community benefit from international inputs, but also to give a chance to international participants to explore the capacities of a Serbian inner city and its surrounding natural beauties. This will be the 16th year of art workcamp in Kosjeric. http://artcamp.ktowngroup.org.rs
💼 What the programme involves
The workshop will consist of 3 sections, documentary, portrait and freelance photography. Participants will be engaged into taking photos of the whole camp development (other 4 workshops), collaborating with other workshops, taking portrait pictures and taking some freelance photos depending on the participants preference. At the final day of camp there will be an exhibition of selected material taken by all participants. The photos taken will be used to promote workcamps and volunteering among youth, there is a possibility to make a “moving gallery” which would move to other villages in the region and promote volunteering and art.
