Pop-up group exhibition by attendees of Simon Chang's workshop

You are cordially invited to the pop-up group exhibition by the attendees of Simon Chang's workshop. The documentary photographer Simon Chang conducted the workshop at Galerija Fotografija between 2022 and 2023.

 

The exhibition presents works by Aleš Klabus, Silva Predalič, Maja Šimenc, Olga Lipič, Maša Lancner, Petra Godeša, Renata Kverh, Drago Metljak, Matt Milligan, Marijan Močivnik and Oksana Kupryashova. Each of the attendees of the workshop is exhibiting their series with a unique story developed as part of the group workshop. The exhibition was curated by Simon Chang.

 

"I am immensely grateful for the genuine curiosity and active engagement displayed by each participant.

Their passion for capturing the everyday stories that surround them is nothing short of inspiring. In a world where frontiers can seem insurmountable, stories serve as powerful tools, capable of punching holes through our mental walls. Through the lens of those curious photographers, we catch glimpses of the other, and sometimes, they encourage us to revisit those stories, dear or close, with fresh perspectives.

At this moment, I strongly believe that we need more stories. While stories may not demolish frontiers, they have the unique ability to soften the boundaries that divide us. In a world hungry for understanding, stories, not weapons, have the potential to make our world a better place." – Simon Chang
