In her workshop "UNFAMILIAR/FAMILIAR" at the beginning of February, World Press Photo winner Simona Ghizzoni (IT) deals with the question of how photography can create personal closeness and intimacy. Photography has often been a kind of therapy for her, says the Italian photographer, who deals with her psyche and inner worlds. She became internationally known with "Odd Days", a work about eating disorders and the self-portrait series "Rayuela" about the ambivalent relationship between man and nature. Workshop, Saturday, 1 February, 10am–5pm Alessandra Capodacqua (IT), experienced and accomplished smartphone photographer for many years, conveys in her workshop "THE ART OF MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY" a wealth of know-how and tips on taking pictures with the smartphone camera and on how to use image editing apps.

The collection encompasses a wide range of conceptual and artistic positions, reflects contemporary history as seen from a female perspective, and uses numerous examples to illustrate aesthetic, iconographic and technological developments within the history of photography.
