Covid-19 pandēmija šopavasar ir izraisījusi straujas un negaidītas pārmaiņas visās dzīves jomās, arī fotogrāfu darbā un ikdienā. Šajā unikālajā laikā ISSP aicina darboties kopā ar atpazīstamiem jaunās paaudzes Latvijas fotogrāfiem Viku Ekstu un Reini Hofmani, lai kopīgi atspoguļotu šībrīža ārkārtas situācijas realitāti, vienlaikus apgūstot un pilnveidojot autorfotogrāfijas sērijas veidošanas pamatprincipus.
Sešas nedēļas garās meistarklases ir domātas ikvienam ar vismaz nelielām priekšzināšanām fotogrāfijā, kas vēlas radoši izpausties un kopā ar domubiedriem reflektēt par krīzes izraisītajām pārmaiņām. Programmas gaitā caur lekcijām, radošiem uzdevumiem, diskusijām un individuālām tikšanās reizēm ar mentoriem, dalībnieki pilnveidos savu vizuālo valodu, attīstot nelielu autorsēriju no idejas līdz realizācijai. Rezultātā radītie fotoprojekti tiks publiski prezentēti tiešsaistes vidē, veidojot daudzšķautņainu mūsdienu krīzes arhīvu.
Katrai meistarklasei ir savs tematiskais un konceptuālais fokuss. Mākslinieces Vikas Ekstas radošās meistarklases “Krīzes istaba” mērķis ir radīt telpu konsekventai pašrefleksijai, piefiksējot un fotogrāfijā apspēlējot personīgās sajūtas, ko katrā no mums raisa jaunie apstākļi. Savukārt fotogrāfa Reiņa Hofmaņa vadītajā meistarklasē “Pārmaiņu ainava” dalībnieki fokusēsies uz pārmainām apkārtējā vidē un publiskajā telpā.
Abas meistarklases norisināsies tiešsaistē sešu nedēļu garumā no 11. un 13. maija. Pieteikties aicināti gan pieredzējuši fotogrāfi, gan fotogrāfijas entuziasti ar tehniskām pamatiemaņām. Lai piedalītos meistarklasēs, ir nepieciešams savs fotoaparāts vai viedtālrunis ar kameru, kā arī piekļuve internetam.
Plašāka informācija un pieteikšanās (līdz 9. maijam) šeit.

Now, this is not a 1st April joke, its official: the ISSP international summer school is moving to Kuldīga! Though it all happened a little suddenly, we are happy with the new situation. The new location, Pelči boarding school, is 4 km away from town, so we’ll keep all the intimacy of the campus. Kuldīga is a gem and a runner up UNESCO world heritage site, it will for sure charm everyone.
Besides, we will have a real castle all for ourselves - imagine ! :)
Many, many things in process. By the end of the month, we will be ready to announce the applications for Summer School 2011. You can already find some information about 2011 workshops and teachers here. We will also have a brand - new website, and more exciting news coming up soon!

Last but not least - Peter Bialobrzeski on ISSP (17 October 2010):
ISSP 2010 was the best photography event I have participated in this year. Teaching there was special, a childhood-like summer with plenty of lovely people, fellow teachers and workshop participants likewise. The workshop was an intense work experience with a lovely holiday feel about it!
