EUROPEAN IMAGES: Strengthening European Documentary Photography

The project "EUROPEAN IMAGES" by n-ost connects documentary photographers from all parts of Europe with each other and with independent publishers in Greece, Romania and Poland, which are also project partners. This facilitates and promotes professional exchange. The result of the project is an European newsletter publication. You can subscribe here. The documentary images of the photographers involved are at the core of the publication. Documentary photography operates between journalistic and artistic engagement. The experienced editors of the project partners supervise the topic setting and the corresponding texts. The publication addresses both, a specialist audience and deliberately a broad public.

In addition, three public events organized by the project partners will take place. These events give interested members of the public the opportunity to get to know the project, the photographers and their core interests in regards to contents, but also facilitate a dialogue on eye-level. The project partners are:
