The concepts of center and periphery together create a basis for discussions about exclusion and participation, but also self-chosen positions in a changing world. Where do these processes begin and how do they develop over time? What is the center and for whom? The theme builds on the question CFF raised with the photofanzine project (Periphery) and will be explored in the exhibitions.

Two photographers will exhibit at each location for two weeks in April-May 2024. During the project period, you will take part in inspirational lectures, workshops, and group discussions together with the other participants.

A jury, consisting of the participating galleries/art galleries, will select eight participants and decide where their work will be displayed.
