Youth photographs

Jugend fotografiert is an exhibition and workshop series initiated by FOTOGALERIE Friedrichshain that gives children and young people the opportunity to present their photographs in a professional gallery and to be involved in the creation of an exhibition under the guidance of an experienced team. In 2024, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022, Jugend fotografiert group exhibitions were held with numerous participants. The diverse results from their own workshops, working groups, art lessons and photography projects were shown to a broad public in cooperation with schools and youth initiatives.

Exhibition: July 05 – August 09, 2024

This year, the focus is on works by young people from Belfast in Northern Ireland – a city whose history, like Berlin’s, is characterised by walls and political division. This partnership was made possible by the Cultural Bridge programme, funded by the Fonds Soziokultur.
