Workshop Focuses on Documentary Photography and Gender Equality in Riyadh
A workshop was held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, focused on documentary photography and gender equality.
Three mentors - Scarlett Coten from France, Susanne Kriemann from Germany, and Tasneem Al-Sultan from Saudi Arabia - led the 10-day workshop, and the participants included German, French, and Saudi Arabian artists.
The mentors had different backgrounds in photography, including exploring themes of gender, identity, and intimacy through portraits, and using photography as a "recording system" to study the human species.
The workshop aimed to promote the art of documentary photography and mobilize artists and the public on the topic of gender equality in Saudi Arabia.
The students' photographs were exhibited in December 2022 at the Ahlam Gallery in Riyadh.
