INTL-004 - Reframing Histories: Photography in Sequence
Course Description
This collaborative course, Reframing Histories: Photography in Sequence focuses on connections to the landscape, which embrace land use (urban and rural), sustainability, site-specific interactions, and personal relationships to the land.
Through the exploration of site and place, this studio-based photography course will propel participants to respond to a new environment while intertwining their personal areas of interest. During this seven-day experience, learners will be given a series projects asking them to respond using their personal cultural history or their experiences in Florence as inspiration. At the start of the session, each day will center around responding to a landmark in the city, including both the natural environment, historical sites and museums. The participants will have the opportunity to link the series of small assignments into a linked body of work or to use the tasks as a way to generate new directions for their creative practice.
This intensive course can be used as an opportunity for portfolio building or a way of rethinking the structures of the history of classic art as participants immerse themselves in their work and the city of Florence. Although the course will be framed as lens-based, participants will be encouraged to explore interdisciplinary and collaboration during their creative process.
