The group exhibition “Relations” at Copenhagen Photo Festival 2023, Refshaleøen, will be open from June 1st till 11th.

The stories have been made during a seven-weeks workshop in the spring 2023. The students have researched, worked in field for three weeks and finally written and edited their stories. The workshop has been conducted by journalism teacher Gitte Luk and photojournalism teacher Søren Pagter. The students themselves have designed the final exhibition at Copenhagen Photo Festival 2023 and layouted an exhibition magazine showing the ten stories.


he exhibition has been financially supported by Aarhuus Stiftstidendes Fond.
