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.

Belgrade Raw photo collective
Symposium wants to reflect the current cultural and political situation characterized by the rise of nationalistic politics, populism, Euro-scepticism and anti-immigration attitudes in Central Europe from the perspective of contemporary art and theory. This tendency can be observed not just locally but in the whole of Europe. We will foster an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas discussed in a group of art historians, sociologists, philosophers, and art theoreticians.
The conversation will examine the methods used by ethnography during field research and the investigation of the survivors, witnesses and victims of violence involving wartime, community, domestic and sexual violence. The speakers will examine these methods in the light of the film by Renzo Martens Enjoy Poverty. Martens proposes that local photographers in the strife-torn Democratic Republic of Congo use human poverty as the main source of national wealth. In the film he offers advice on how to capture images of one’s own poverty.
