Exhibition: Memory and photography - images as a language across borders: Workshops, Community Lab*, Talks, Exhibition

Design Department

Exhibition

Photography stores memories and invites people to speak. For many profound biographical and historical events, however, there are no images or they are lost. Creating images with artificial intelligence opens new doors. Images can be created on the basis of prompts, i.e. language. This makes us independent of the event and allows us to create images of the past. Photography has never been able to do that before. Or has it?

In collaboration with students from the Department of Design, the Luckenwalde Presence Centre invites all interested parties to explore these new possibilities. The workshops are organised in such a way that students come together in groups with people from communities in Luckenwalde.

What you can expect:
- Introduction to AI image generation and good prompting techniques
- Creative design of image worlds with the Midjourney programme
- Collaboration with migrant communities in Luckenwalde
- Exchange on photography, memory and the meaning of images
- Public presentation of the resulting works (exhibition)
- Official certificate of participation at the end of the workshop

The programme and exhibition are part of the project "Community-based AI lab* - building skills with young people and disadvantaged groups for good work and cohesion in Brandenburg" by Christian Berkes, Tina Steiger, Marta Domurat-Linde and Prof. Wiebke Loeper.
