About the forum
You have come across a discussion platform on the phenomenon of the Kharkiv School of Photography.
During the four days, researchers from different European countries, direct participants and witnesses of the school's formation will join the discussions and analysis of various topics and personalities associated with the concept of KHSP. With this event, we seek to contextualize the phenomenon of Kharkiv school, expand the idea of its definition and boundaries, reveal the differences and similarities of aesthetic approaches of its participants, as well as to attract a wide audience to study the practices of Kharkiv photography.
All events of the forum will be held online from 18 to 21 August inclusive.
After the forum, all materials inspired within it, will be available on the site for further study and use.
The project was realized with support of Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.
