Goethe-Institut Myanmar

Goethe-Institut is organising the second edition of the annual German film festival, KinoFest, scheduled to run from September to November 2023.

Are you ready to utilize the power of photography to explore your emotions, connect with your inner self, and embark on a transformative journey? Look no further! We are thrilled to announce our upcoming Photo Therapy Workshop - a unique and enriching experience that combines the art of photography with self-expression and healing. This workshop is the last part of the 'Program of Care 2.0' workshop series, initiated by the Goethe-Institut Myanmar. 

This 10-day workshop offers training in visual narrative storytelling and artistic photography techniques. Our expert trainers will provide one-on-one guidance and constructive feedback throughout the workshop. Each participant will have the opportunity to express their feelings and explore their self-identity by reflecting on photographs, pairing them with creative writing and focusing on the positive aspects of their lives. 

Expanded Curatorial Practice and Exhibition Making project that Goethe-Institut Myanmar brought to you has now finished all its training modules. At the end of the training period, all 16 participants became four curatorial teams, and a production grant for each group was awarded to produce their exhibition projects. Goethe-Institut Myanmar invited four art galleries, led mainly by young active gallerists and artists, to be project venue partners.

Working together with participants, Helene Bukowski's debut novel "Milchzähne" (2019) was translated into Myanmar.
