7th Lumix Festival for Young Visual Journalism - digital
19.-28. June 2020 · teaching, conception, moderation
Under the new direction of Karen Fromm and Lars Bauernschmitt, numerous changes were planned for the 7th Lumix Festival: the exhibitions of the competition works were to be curated by the students in 4 seminars - led by the curators Franziska Kunze, Christin Müller, Sonja Palade and myself; the Dutch curator Iris Sikking was invited to design an exhibition on New Perspectives on Documentary Practice; a digital story camp was being planned.
After an intensive project week in March 2020, however, the corona pandemic forced us to re-plan at short notice. As part of the festival team, I participated in the conception of the first digital Lumix Festival and the creation of an educational concept for the festival website. The students of our curating courses conducted interviews with the presented photographers, created videos and interactive formats, and brought together additional image, audio and video material to make the works tangible.
In my interdisciplinary course with students from the Photojournalism and Documentary Photography and *Interior Design courses, we also developed a mobile exhibition for public space: with the Lumix Festival Mobiles, the #lumixfestivaldigital became visible in the city and allowed an exchange about photography on a smaller scale.
During the 10 days of the festival, each of which was dedicated to a specific topic, I also spoke in a live talk with the photographer Laia Abril about her research projects and the photo books On Abortion (2018), Lobismuller (2016) and The Epilogue (2014).
