The photojournalist students at DMJX have been invited to participate in a global project arranged and sponsored by Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School and The Alexia Foundation.
More than 40 photojournalistic schools from all over the world participate in the projects, which pourpose it is to make a powerful statement about life on the planet, in the context of family life today, not unlike The Family of Man did 60 years ago.
The students at the different schools produce a body of work about family – the enterpretation of the theme is broad. The goal is to engage the subject and connect schools around the world, not dictate how or what kind of work is produced. Documentary, portraiture, still or motion pieces are all welcome.
At DMJX we’ve decided that both web-documentary classes will work within this topic. This means that 8 Danish third term students and ten international Photo1 students will participate in the project together with Poul Madsen and Henrik Kastenskov from Bombay Flying Club, who will conduct these workshops.
But it is also possible for other photojournalistic students from DMJX to participate. If you’re working on any story within the family topic, you can submit your work to your teachers, who consider sharing it for the Global Family Project.
All work for the project must be produced between August and early December of 2014.
The Newhouse School/Alexia Foundation Global Family project co-operates with Photoshelter for uploading images and
