Youth Photography

Jugend fotografiert is an exhibition and workshop series initiated by FOTOGALERIE Friedrichshain. It offers children and young people the opportunity to present their photographs in a professional gallery setting and to participate — under the guidance of an experienced team — in the process of creating an exhibition.

Since 2016, numerous Jugend fotografiert group exhibitions have been realized with many participants. The diverse results from independent workshops, extracurricular programs, art classes, and photography projects carried out in cooperation with schools and youth initiatives have been presented to a broad public audience.

This year, the focus was on works by young people from Belfast, Northern Ireland — a city whose history, like Berlin’s, has been shaped by walls and political division.

This partnership was made possible through the Cultural Bridge program.

For the sixth time, FOTOGALERIE Friedrichshain presents a selection of youth photography created in collaboration with youth institutions and schools. This year, the focus is on the Kulturring project SpurenWandler, part of the federal funding program Jugend erinnert (“Youth Remembers”).

Through photography, young participants trace the history of once-divided Berlin and offer insight into their perspectives on the theme of borders and on the stories embedded in public space.

FOTOGALERIE Friedrichshain is particularly committed to fostering young people’s creative engagement with photographic media. Through targeted collaborations with partner schools and youth projects, the gallery seeks, on the one hand, to create alternative aesthetic spaces of experience for children and young people beyond the formal school context. On the other hand, joint exhibition projects offer opportunities to build new connections and gain insight into different social realities.
