I'm happy to share that I've been selected for Heritage Lens! <br>
As part of this opportunity, I'll be undertaking a year-long research journey to Spain, Denmark, Latvia, Frisia, Italy and Poland, collaborating with artists, scientists, and activists along the way.<br>
<br>
the other selected artist are Arianna Sanest, Constanze Flamme, Emma Charrin, Katrina Rinke, Marco Lumini, Mateusz Pecyna, Ola Skowronska, Pedro Marcano, Skander Khlif, Toivo Heinimäki, and Michaela Nagyidaiová.<br>
<br>
Heritage Lens project arises from the need to address the accelerated threats that climate change poses to European cultural heritage. <br>
<br>
As climate change continues to manifest in unprecedented ways, heritage faces existencial risk that affect the identity and social cohesion of European societies.<br>
<br>
The project promotes cross-collaboration between emerging photographers, cultural heritage experts, and environmental activists, fostering a holistic understanding of the challenges and solutions associated with climate change and cultural heritage resilience. <br>
<br>
Cultural and artistic expressions, especially through photography, offer an unique opportunity to bridge the gap between awareness and action.<br>
<br>
The collaboration of photography centers from Italy, Latvia, Poland, and Spain combines diverse perspectives and resources, creating a transnational initiative that transcends borders and fosters a collective response to a shared challenge. <br>
<br>
Efforts will be combined with other partners from several countries, including environmental and cultural organizations, to expand the project’s reach and maximize its potential.<br>
