How do you see? is a
3-day workshop designed for students between the ages of 12 - 15 years, inspired by the
Goethe-Institut’s ongoing South Asian regional project
M3: Man, Male, Masculine. Based on the theme of Masculinities, the project aims to explore and discuss current visions of masculinity with young adults of all genders in India and Bangladesh.
How do you see? is based on curriculum developed by
CPB Prism, the education team of the
Chennai Photo Biennale Foundation. Over the course of 3 days, participants in the workshop will:
● Learn photography on mobile phones
● Explore visual artistic practices
● Create photographs based on the theme
● Exhibit their photographs to their friends, family and community, possibly in the form of a ‘pop-up’ exhibition.
The
workshops in Bangalore are facilitated by

M3: Man, Male, Masculine aims to provide - through different perspectives, activities and formats, a chance to develop an understanding of stereotypes and role models, and to reflect on individual ideas of masculinity. Further, the project aspires to encourage, through cultural educational projects using creative tools such as photography, film, theatre plays, and graphic novels, children and young adults to critically question existing ideals of masculinity and to actively promote gender-equitable practices.
The intention is to develop various formats in cooperation with experts on education and mental health, NGOs, and teachers, and then to implement these programs in educational fields as well as in the general public environment.
*The workshops are open only to a select group of students.*
