Middle Town: Picturing the Unspectacular The project is an exchange between «emerging photographers» from Turkey and Latvia that will also include young photographers from Europe and/or the region around Turkey. Two workshops - first in Tra bzon/Tu rkey in March 2012, the second in August 2012 in Kuldiga/Latvia - will be run by two experienced tutors - a photographer and an editor. This alternative education project will enable participating young photographers to develop individual projects on a given subject and jointly promote their work in an international environment. The resulting works will be presented in form of a joint multimedia presentation, a photography exhibition and, possibly, a publication.
