European Tracks on Photography
INTRODUCTION
The European Tracks on Photography activity aims to maintain cultural dialogue among
people and protect cultural heritage by means of the visual arts with a focus on
photography. More specifically, it aspires to enable artists and young enthusiasts
in Portugal, Italy and Turkey to find ample opportunities to foster encounters.
The activity involves exhibitions, shows and workshops.
EXHIBITIONS & WORKSHOPS
For fostering cultural bonds and establishing a social network between the artists,
efficient presentation techniques are utilized. Within this context, works of contemporary
Portuguese artist José M. Rodrigues were exhibited under the title "Experimental
Anthology" in Turkey, reciprocated by an exhibition of 10 contemporary Turkish photograph
artists in Portugal. The workshops seek to explore both the art of photography and
its techniques and the possible communicative developments and opportunities offered
by this art. José M. Rodrigues and an Italian photographer Giusy Pelleriti held
a series of workshops in Turkey and Portugal focusing on the history of photography,
light and composition, analogue and digital photography as well as a range of other
techniques. Turkish photographer and lecturer Orhan Cem Çetin carried out workshops
titled "My Distorted Memories - An exploration of the human memory through photography,
collected objects and words" in Portugal and in Italy.
