The Neue Schule für Fotografie Berlin presents the exhibition KRISIS, featuring photographic works by 19 students of the school’s International Class, on July 16. The exhibition, which is facilitated by Michael Dooney, director of Berlin’s Jarvis Dooney Gallery, will remain on view in the Neue Schule gallery until August 1.
Learning photography amid a year of both personal and collective turmoil has been a challenge for the students of the International Class. But they found inspiration in the struggles they have experienced or witnessed in recent months.
The exhibition features individual projects produced by each of the students, who come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some works focus on the pandemic and its ramifications, while others delve into societal and personal crises related to topics such as gender identity, career, mental health, and disease.
