ISSP 2019 :: Photography and the World :: Evening programme

ISSP 2019 EVENING PROGRAMME
13th edition: Photography and the World
​13 - 19 July 2019
Location: Zaļenieki Manor, Jelgava District, Latvia


The ISSP 2019 public programme of evening talks & discussions and the Final Conference are open to visitors free of charge - see programme below!

The first thematic edition of the ISSP, “Photography and the World”, will be looking at photography as a possible tool for positive change, with reference to global issues the world is facing today. The participants will look beyond the sometimes insular bubble of the photography and art world, and try to answer questions like - What role can art/ photography play in relation to the events and processes happening in the world? What are the ways art can contribute to the societies we live in? What is the role of the photographer – as a professional, an activist, a member of the community, a responsible human being?

ISSP 2019 will conclude with a day-long open conference containing elements of a pop-up exhibition, a performance, a manifest, as well as a publication that will be produced on the campus.
