Belgrade Raw photo collective

Belgrade Raw uses photography to document cities and give acounterpoint to unfounded over-glamorous representations of the citythat are overwhelmingly present in Serbia, as well as to unbalanced,overly negative views that we have often seen coming from theinternational media. We also focus on empowering people, bothphotographers and the public, to use documentary photography as a toolof documentation and exploration of society. We do this throughorganizing workshops, exhibitions and educational events.
