About the event
General image culture is essential to a photographer's development; it also becomes necessary for exercising the critical spirit and understanding the multitude of images that pass before our eyes daily. Cristina will go through the history of photography, from the first preliminary manifestations of photography to what is happening in photography today. You will truly understand why photography is writing with light.
The course will not only be theoretical; we will also have practice - sometimes we will develop old tools to capture images, other times we will visit a private archive collection and on a Saturday we will go around the city in search of photographs that make up the history of Bucharest and its people. Last but not least, we don't get stuck in what was but explain how what was can help us in today's artistic process. If you want to understand the image better, the history of photography is for you.

He received his doctorate at UNARTE, Art History and Theory. He studied visual anthropology in Bucharest, SNSPA and Perugia, at Universita' degli Studi UniPg, but also comparative local development at Universita' degli Studi di Trento.
Together with Cristian Bassa and Dorin Delureanu, he founded the Omnia Photo association with the aim of promoting contemporary and historical photography and developing the public of photography. Cristina always has at least one old photo with her that she can talk about for hours with enthusiasm; she's the one who can give you tons of details about an unknown family just by looking at a picture taken at the turn of the last century. She successfully passes through multiple roles – from researcher, to artist or pedagogue.
