Tiny OyoUnity @ Gemeinschaftshaus Gropiusstadt | Queer Analog Darkroom: Urban Journey – Exploring Neighborhoods Through Pinhole Photography

Tiny Oyounity presents:
'Urban Journey: Exploring Neighborhoods Through Pinhole Photography' - a workshop by Queer Analog Darkroom
Facilitated by: Laura

***
From late August to mid-October, our Tiny House travels through Berlin districts, engaging interactively with the local community and partners at cultural venues and institutions. Through a diverse range of workshops, the aim is to connect decolonial knowledge and artistic practices with marketing, design, and knowledge dissemination.

Next Stop: @Gemeinschaftshaus Gropiusstadt (Bat-Yam-Platz 1, 12353 Berlin)

***

This workshop offers the possibility of making simple pinhole cameras using matchboxes to take 35mm photos as well as creating a pinhole camera using a film canister to make Solargraphy and loading it with photographic paper. Another part will be going on a neighbourhood tour and additionally exploring how to develop photos, using a scanner. It will be discussed how to position the camera in an urban space, including examples. 

You will be able to take your self made camera home.

Queer Analog Darkroom

QAD - Queer Analog Darkroom - is a self-organized, inclusive skills-sharing collective for analogue photography in Berlin. The core team consists of eight people, all of whom bring a wide range of different skills and knowledge related to photography. In addition to their queerness, it is the different identities and experiences of marginalization that connect the members of the collective and that shape their work and perspectives on photography. As part of the 'Urbane Praxis' project funding, the Queer Analog Darkroom collective, founded in 2022, wants to help shape urban public space in cooperation with Oyoun. Rooms are not accessible to everyone in the same way. The goal of the QAD collective is to create spaces for a community around analogue film development and film technology through self-organized and non-commercial work. It should be a space in which people learn together and which develops collectively step by step.
