Our aim is to create empathy and understanding beyond social groups and milieus and thus reduce discrimination. Specifically, we develop exhibitions, books, newspapers and films and, above all, empower other people in workshops to use these approaches for themselves and their concerns. The focus is always on the inclusion of people from social groups that are underrepresented in the media.
\nIn 2016, documentary photographers Rafael Brix and Frieder Bickhardt founded the collective of the same name. In past projects in cooperation with other sponsors, other artists and project managers have joined them time and again and the participants have developed their own initiatives in our thematic field. At the end of 2021, an association was finally founded to give the non-profit activity a suitable legal form and to offer even more opportunities for active participation in shaping unofficial.pictures. Thanks to a growing number of new project grants, over 40 projects have been realized to date.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section bg_color=”#ffcd02″ padding_top=”100″ padding_bottom=”100″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_fancy_title color=”#000000″ size=”40″ force_font_size=”true” size_smallscreen=”30″ size_tablet=”25″ size_phone=”20″ font_weight=”bold” letter_spacing=”2″ margin_bottom=”0″ font_family=”none”]previous projects[\/mk_fancy_title][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”500″ align=”left” thin_single_color=”#000000″ thickness=”6″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″ visibility=”hidden-sm”][mk_padding_divider size=”60″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1681567992448{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]2023\/03 Production of the solo exhibition by Frieder Bickhardt \u00bbKomplex : Heimat<\/a>\u00ab, Hoyerswerda Castle and City Museum.
