TransEurope

TransEurope is a photography and visual arts forum for Europe, which promotes opportunities for professionals to meet and creates business networks in the fields of photography and visual arts. The initiative consists in organising photography workshops, portfolio reviews, professional activities and a group exhibition to favour exchange, mobility, visibility and cross-training among artists and international planners in Scandinavia, Eastern and Western Mediterranean and the Balkan. Finland, Greece and Spain will be in charge of driving the programme in their respective regions. TransEurope’s general objectives are: – Spreading the knowledge of photography from different perspectives.- Acting as the promoter of photographic works produced not only domestically but also in other EU countries.- Raising awareness of this European initiative abroad, through their connexion with, and in many cases proximity to, other countries.- Providing photographers with the necessary tools, through training programmes, to enable them to develop professionally and profit from transnational employment opportunities. The partners go beyond their organisations, their direct geographical neighbours working with other institutions in the other selected countries for the project and located in the periphery of the EU, the idea is that the work will be carried out in areas that are not part of the mainstream channels of the European photography.The celebration of the programme will be held on the influence area of each partnership, affecting a large quantity of countries and individuals. The selection of participants to the portfolio reviews in an open call will contribute to the dissemination and the knowledge of the photography.
