Clan, tribe, group, ancestry, kin – all of these terms relate to something that we all know as ‘family’. Over a nine month period, the participants in this workshop accompanied by OSTKREUZ-photographer Heinrich Voelkel (*1974) will work on a photo project that deals with various forms of ‘family’. It’s about newly discovering relationships and examining them photographically. Of particular value in the workshop is the ongoing work on the subject and the development that the participant goes through. The main project idea as well as a portfolio should be brought to the first meeting.
