Portfolio Review Luleå during the Norrland Days
Come and show your portfolio to Mariangela Mendez Prencke from Havremagasinet in Boden, Cecilia Andersson from MAN/Museum Anna Norrlander in Skellefteå, and Mia Bengtsson Plynning, Center for Photography.
If you are a participant at the Norrland Days, you have the opportunity to register for a portfolio review where you can meet two of the participating reviewers: Mariangela Mendez Prencke, head of Havremagasinet’s regional art gallery in Boden, Cecilia Andersson, curator and head of department at MAN/Museum Anna Norrlander in Skellefteå, and Mia Bengtsson Plynning from CFF (Center for Photography).
Prepare for the review by assembling a portfolio of 20–40 images, either physical or digital. For digital presentations, please bring your own computer. Please note: Showing a website is not sufficient; we want you to have made a selection of your work that we can discuss.
The following applies:
– Max 9 places, first come, first served!
– Registration is open to all photographers participating in the Norrland Days (no extra fee for the portfolio review)
– Choose which two reviewers you would most like to meet. However, we cannot guarantee that you will get your first choices.
– The portfolio review will take place at Clarion Hotel Sense in the same premises as the Norrland Days, so it is possible to attend other programs while waiting.
Register by February 6th to mia.bengtsson.plynning
