Magali Avezou’s workshop entitled ELSEWHERE is concerned with the relationship photography maintains with fiction and reality. It investigates form of narratives that encompass ideas of utopia and paradise through the creation of simple sets, providing an overview of Staged photography.

In her workshop FROM REPRESENTATION TO EMBODIMENT Maria Gafarova investigates re-enactment, a practice that centres on the body as a medium for exploring critically the past.
