Program

Exhibition What Have We Done? Unpacking 7 Decades of World Press Photo 19:00 - 00:00 
By examining archive images from 70 years of World Press Photo and their context, we not only acknowledge the work that journalists have often done under very challenging circumstances, but we also invite you to look at our visual past as a source of stories that is always in flux. How else could we tell stories?

It is an invitation to reflect not only on how our visual language has changed, but also on how we, as viewers and as a society, must learn to view images with a sharper and more critical eye.

Workshop See What I Mean? 19:30-20:30
Step into a world where images speak louder than words. In this accessible but hands-on workshop, we will dive into the fascinating art of visual learning together with World Press Photo. How do we make meaning, spark emotion, and ignite understanding through what we see in a picture? You’ll learn to look differently, think visually, and to communicate what you see.

Whether you're a visual thinker, a curious creative, or just tired of words doing all the talking: this workshop invites you to see, feel, and learn in full color. See What We Mean?

The Great Big Angry Fake News Quiz 20:30 - 21:00 | 22:00 - 22:30
Think you can separate AI from a real picture? Or spot the truth in a sea of false headlines and Facebook news posts? You can put your skills to the test in this quiz. We welcome queen of drag Lola Lasagne as our beloved presenter and winners will have to fight for the ultimate prize: a Fujifilm Instax camera.

And if you fail? Well, we will be very angry (especially Lola) and you will be going home without knowing if you will ever be able to trust the news again. Sad. 

Workshop Mug Shots & Masterpieces 21:00 - 22:00
Did you know that your face tells a story? This workshop, partnered with World Press Photo and Fujifilm, will teach you the magic of portraiture. What story tells your face? It is all about personality, presence and attitude. In any case, we will teach you how to capture real emotion, frame character, and how to tell a story with just a face. 

Pictures will be made with a Fujifilm Instax camera and you can take the results home with you. 

Tiny Factory Fuif 22:00 - 00:00
Small, intimate disco party inside the supervisor station room in the factory. We don’t know what more to say. We have a DJ, drinks and some cool lights. An once-in-a-lifetime experience, if we have any say in it.
