Zoom-In: 20 Minutes, 1 Photo, DE/EN.
20 minutes for a photo, a small group of photos or a photoalbum from the collection of the Weltmuseum Wien:
In this short guided tour with curator Hanin Hannouch (she-her) we direct our attention to a single iconic photo, a small group of photos or a photo album. The goal is to get to know new photographers* from the so-called Global South or women behind the camera. Together we discover the global reach of photography that goes beyond the productions of white cis men. In doing so, we honor the influence these photographers had on the history of the medium.
The event will take place behind the scenes of the museum in the seminar room DG.41.
