Crossroads<\/strong>
At certain points in life, we move forward without a clear map of what comes next. Without knowing where upcoming roads might merge or split. In these uncertain intersections, we discover resilience, identity, and growth.<\/em>

Through nine stories, we meet different people and their perspectives. Their stories reflect on the vulnerability and complexity found at life\u2019s many crossroads.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In times where journalism is challenged by fake news and where the amount of AI-produced photographs risks influencing our perception of the world, photojournalism is needed more than ever to document the world we live in. Crossroads is a documentary photo exhibition created by a group of 11 fourth term photojournalism students from the Danish School of Media and Journalism (DMJX).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the spring 2026, the 11 students have researched and made nine stories within the theme of Values. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The nine stories at the exhibition are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Border That Was No Longer Invisible<\/em><\/strong> by Benedicte Ramfjord and Vilma S\u00f8ndergaard<\/p>\n\n\n\n
