Parallel — European Photo Based Platform
↗ LINKParallel — European Photo Based Platform
Parallel is a platform that brings together creative European organizations committed to promoting cross-cultural exchanges and mentorships in order to set new standards in contemporary photography. Members include museums, galleries, cultural centres, festivals, art schools, and publishers – 18 vibrant European cultural hubs, from 16 countries, that will participate in selecting and hosting emerging artists and curators, organizing exhibitions and promoting artistic networking. The large and diverse nature of this network ensures a wide geographical spread and a fertile ground for fostering new dialogues, sparking fresh ideas and helping to boost creativity. The work process is implemented as a two-phase process: Creative Guidance: selection, tutoring, peer learning and curatorship for emergent creators; Exhibition Platform: a wide exhibition network engaging exhibitors, universities and art schools.

Through Her Eyes
↗ LINKThrough her Eyes examines the social changes and revolutions at the beginning of the 20th century as incubators for political involvement of women, which over the next century resulted in universal suffrage and equality in many different social areas. An important focus was to consider the role of the EU for equality between genders and for equality in general.
Through her Eyes shows the importance of civil movements and active citizenship on the case of the women’s fight for equality. It will motivate and mobilize citizens to become more active in safeguarding achieved rights and European values.
Numerous activities (March 8th Campaign, exhibitions, workshops, podium discussions etc.) will involve all generations and promote intercultural and intergenerational solidarity. Citizens will come together to exchange their views, with researchers, politicians, activists, migrants, their neighbours and children. The project reminds citizens of the importance of active social involvement and makes them aware of the reasons, why we all need to fight for equality in Europe and what role we as citizens play in this process. more

Lessons from ‘91
↗ LINKThis project wants to analyze the situation in Yugoslavia in 1991 and find answers to some of the questions that arise in Europe today. We can see many parallels between then and now (the economic and political crises, securing of borders as well as the rise of nationalism) and we believe, that Europe needs to learn from the Yugoslav lessons and find better solutions to similar problems. The Yugoslav experience is a valuable experience for Europe because it is part of the European past and as such a reminder of the consequences of specific actions and events. “Lessons from 1991” looked at the year 1991 through the eyes and lenses of photographers who have documented the war in Yugoslavia. In war, the seemingly impartial medium becomes a means of manipulation and deception. Photography becomes a tool for reaching political goals. We looked at this phenomenon and invited photographers from all former Yugoslav countries to contribute photographs for an exhibition that will visually present the role of nationalism in the Yugoslav war. The exhibitions and discussions with photo reporters, journalists, historians, and politicians took place in Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Germany. more
