Schedule : 

1. Date: December 5, 2016

Title: When Not to Photograph
Conducted by: Prabir Purkayastha
Registration Fee: Rs 1000
Subject: Digital technology has gifted the pleasure of ‘pressing the shutter’ to everyone. So, how can serious practitioners & ardent students of photography stay afloat & thrive in the digital age?
How do you ‘create’ a photograph vis-à- vis just take a picture? Between the multitude photography theories of ‘Do’s’ & ‘Don’t’s’ & countless reams of tutorials & ‘professional’ advice lies the grey world of ‘when not to photograph’. And, it is the exploration of this nebulous state, which every photographer faces, but rarely journeys into, which will, hopefully, help liberate the ‘mind’s eye’.

2. Date: December 6 & December 7, 2016
Title: Curating and Thinking about Photography in Exhibitions and Books
Conducted by: Nathalie Herschdorfer
Registration Fee: Rs 2000

5. Date: December 10, 2016
Title: Exhibiting Lens Based Artworks & Louise Lawler: The Critical Documentary Mode
Conducted by: Peter Nagy
Registration Fee: Rs 1000
Subject: How does the exhibition of photographs and videos differ from that of painting and sculpture? What particular concerns should the curator and exhibition designer keep in mind, and what are the tricks of the trade used by professionals? With more than 30 years of experience in the art world, Peter Nagy has installed a wide variety of exhibitions in galleries, museums, and art fairs.

Conducted by: Prof. Shormishtha Panja

Subject: Representation lies at the core of both literature and photography. The workshop will discuss topics like how does one capture an object, a scene or a person in words and in the photographic image? Do these two genres, one literary, the other visual, have anything in common? What is the role of the author and that of the photographer? Are both present or absent in their works? How does one figure this out? What role do images and imagery play in poetry and prose? Conversely, how does on read or analyse a photograph and what is the vocabulary one chooses to write about it?

Title: Gaze-Ungaze: Street Photography
Conducted by: Parthiv Shah
Registration Fee: Rs 1000
Subject: A microcosm of the living world, ‘Street’ has always been an admired unsuspecting subject for photographers all around the world. In recent years, with the growing discourses around the 'appropriateness' of visual exploration and the development of easy technological access, 'street photography' has come to signify the dilemma between spontaneous art and ethical documentation. While familiarizing the participants with the aesthetics, the workshop will try to defamiliarize the conventions of 'street photography' by contextualizing the various socio-cultural aspects of the practice.

10. Date: December 15, 2016
Title: Photo As Archive
Conducted by: Aditya Arya

A special focus on family albums and on how to create a family album from your old family pictures which in their own various ways, are the reminders of our roots and where we have come from.
