This week, Mads Greve conducts the first of a series of four DMJX workshops in Cairo made in co-operation with our partner Photopia Cairo and supported by the Embassy of Denmark in Cairo.
The aim of the programmne is to educate 12 selected Egyptian photographers in the language of photojournalism. The programme will consist of a series of four workshops and conclude with an exhibition and a publication showing the participants’ final projects.
The participants will receive teaching and work on individual assignments during the workshops. Each participant will do a major project in the period in between the third and fourth workshop. The participants will receive individual coaching while they work on the final major project.
