Shanghai Photography Workshop
June 9 – July 7, 2012
Faculty: Abby Robinson
The city of Shanghai is an integral hub for Asia’s burgeoning art and photography worlds. This unique four-week program emphasizes the exploration of Shanghai and encourages the integration of Western and Eastern photographic practices. Participants meet and dialogue with the Shanghai art community as well as engage in individual and group critiques. There are portfolio reviews by prominent members of Shanghai’s photography community that provide the opportunity to share ideas and network with curators and gallery owners as well as colleagues. This program offers freedom for participants to expand their body of work in a new and relevant context.
