Workshop Conceptualisation and Facilitation

- 2016 Bilder im Kontext - Bildanalysemethoden für die politische Bildungsarbeit / Images in context - Imageanalysis in political educational work, Heinrich Böll-Stiftung Berlin
- 2016 Nonviolent communication, Berlin
- 2015 Workshop-Module AFFECT at Agora Berlin Sensitive Observers,
we are the world and how to construct social platforms for it
My workshops are not primarily focused on technical aspects but see the camera as a medium of research and interaction with the social environment regarding questions of identity and approaches to key aspects like empathy and trust when it comes to portrait photography and the documentation of daily life. Last but not least the work with the camera allows an artistic freedom of self-expression and positioning towards the world around. Not always we can define answers but we can raise awareness for questions and the willingness to face the complexity of societies.

Vouginha Storytelling - Photography Workshop in Portugal, November 2018, April 2019
With the track line of the Linha do Vouga and its region we embark on a journey into storytelling and different approaches to it. This involves a personal standpoint from which we start and explore inner and outer visions onto and into the surrounding environments. How do we interact with the findings? Do we set a concept to highlight aspects of the explorations or follow a free rhythm and search for musicality and figments in the visual work?
A photography workshop commissiond by 4iS - plataforma para a inovação social
The 2nd stage will follow up in spring 2019 and lead to a collective presentation with results and collaborations from a Sound-workshop to build a contemporary archive on the only narrow gauge line left in operation — the Vouginha and its region.

Berlin, May 2018
After the very first edition in 2015 "Mein Kiez" we leaned back into the urban searching for the green, the nearby wild and collaborations to open exchange in the neighbourhood - tracking edible herbs with Simone Böcker, turning it into a cooking-event with a lovely team of Diderot, followed by cyanotypie-explorations to draw a circle to the early photography/cyanotype by the botanist Anna Atkins. Small booklets were additionally created with collected plants and drawings. Mapleleaves stuck on noses and leaves for tea brought back home.

C/O Berlin perspectives "Khalat Masquerade"
Berlin, Atumn 2017
Through the playful approach to build masks and let them dance or dissappear in the urban environment then photographed or filmed in a dance performance we used the making as an occasion to speak about personal fears and roles in society where visible masks from different cultural and backgrounds and practices transit in invisible masking in every day life and talked about liberating spaces and wishes and that way also self-empowerment.

Experimental lab with explorations in the neighbourhood.
The goal of the project was to build and foster dialogue between young refugees and locals in the Berlin neighborhood of Prenzlauer Berg. Participants explored their neighborhood surroundings with cameras and microphones and discovered new places and rooms that would normally be off limits. They asked questions and told their stories. The aim was to bring neighbors from different cultural backgrounds closer together through dialogue between refugees and locals and neighborhood institutions.
