Projects 2023

In the 1960s, Ivry-sur-Seine - a suburb in the southeast of Paris - became the site of a pioneering social housing project in which architect and urban planner Renée Gailhoustet, together with Jean Renaudie, designed an architecture deeply rooted in the socialist values of communal living and social justice.

Since 2011, filmmakers Sana na N’Hada, Filipa César and many others have been collaborating in the recovery and dissemination of the audiovisual memory of the Guinea Bissau liberation movement through the project Luta ca caba inda (The struggle is not over yet).

How can biennials and festivals become more inclusive? This question lies at the core of the project “Learning from Others - Where the Twain Meets“, jointly conceived by the Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie and its curatorial team and advisors, together with Chobi Mela.

The HIDDEN SCHOOL aims to establish an (un- and re-) learning model for people affected by the historical consequences of colonial industrialisation and the death policies of the Ottoman Empire up to the present day. The project evolves as a slow travelling group gathering at certain points in the Eastern Aegean, in the border regions between Greece (EU) and Turkey.
