With Karsten Knigge – Become an art photographer yourself! In the two-day school holiday workshop “Black and White is Cool” with the Göttingen photographer Karsten Knigge, we will first be inspired by Santu Mofokeng’s black and white photos from South Africa and experience the power of images without colour. And the best thing is: we will take black and white photos together. Your own ideas and wishes will be taken up and implemented, you will learn tips and tricks of artistic photography, which you can still use after the workshop.

You can expect exciting experiments and adventures around the topic of photography. At the end you can take home a professional print of one of your works and prove that you too are real professionals. In addition, your artwork will be presented to all visitors in the entrance area of the Kunsthaus. Please bring your own smartphone or tablet for the workshop on both days. The workshop is aimed at children and young people from the age of 10.
