“So Much Water, So Close to Home”
Long form story telling narrative workshop with Tanya Habjouqa and Pierre Mohamed-Petit.
Photography workshop that aims to shake your personal projects that are on pause because of
insecurity or stress (or you never dared face) and find your inspiration and direct path to go
deeper, more experimental, and render this project to motion.
Together with Tanya Habjouqa and Pierre Mohamed-Petit, explore the ways you can move
beyond a linear narrative and create a "felt experience". Tanya’s work digs into the politics of the
place as she blends competing narratives, and playing with them, through the use of
evidentiary and metaphorical approaches. Pierre’s work explores the personal emotion, surrounding with personal experiences, mixing analog forms of archive
from his work. With his deep experiences working with photographers and prestigious archives
such as Magnum Photos and NOOR, he’ll share how the understanding the value of archives
you may hold, from the personal to professional.
With Tanya and Pierre, you will move what has been traditional documentary into new
terrains of the narrative.
The workshop will be focusing on
awareness and nurturing of personal vulnerability in developing an individual series.

review, and a basis of as well as professional practice. Main focus of this workshop will be for
photographers’ long-term project.

explore together what motivates you to do your project, storytelling and photographic strategies;
You will leave this workshop with an expanded scope of what photography is, and its
transformative powers, and on the path to developing your personal style.
