Make difference with photography, a special session with Henna Middeke

Joensuu Multicultural Photography Club (JMPC) would like to invite you all to our special session with professional Photographer Henna Middeke.

How affective a photograph can be? How can you make a difference with Photography? Yes, in this special session, Henna Middeke will be talking a bit artistic impressions stand of photography. Middeke graduated from Turku Academy of Arts and have experience in several photography camps, youths development projects and exhibitions around Finland. She is keen on organizing exhibitions with youths because she finds it very empowering for them. In this session with JMPC, she will be talking about her work called Pelon Paikka (fear place) and another work that she did in a Kakola prison in Turku.

In her work with Pelon Paikka, she have presented different locations where women are afraid of. Descriptions and pictures are taken from Finland, Germany and Netherlands. She interviewed both familiar and unknown women asking what are the places they are scared of, and what are the things they are afraid of in those places. This work was published in Suomen Kuvalehti, and some pictures in the Finnish Museum of Photography in Helsinki. Last year it was also in an exhibition in Joensuu. She'd also like to encourage in her presentation about "political art" or using their skills for something one believes in. We had meetings about the technics and seen other works, and now we will talk more about YOU, and what you can do!
