When: August 28 - September 3 Where: Photography Resource Center / Popa Tatu 68 It happens. How do we celebrate the opening of the Photography Resource Center (CdRF) other than with pomp (or, rather, with fest)? IS THIS A FEST? it's an artistic, educational and photography promotion event for any photography enthusiast, from amateurs to professionals with fancy lenses. With and about photography, IS THIS A FEST? comes to the aid of aspiring photographers. We know what it's like to get lost in all the tips & tricks content on YouTube. We offer four workshops on introduction to composition (August 28, with Andrei Păcuraru), product photography with the phone (August 29, with Sorin Florea), portraiture (August 30, with Cornel Lazia) and aesthetics (August 31, with Adi Bulboacă) . Between September 1 - 3 we organize openings (we fill the walls with photos and marvel at them), artist talks (because it's not enough to take a photo, you have to talk about it), parties (how artists feel good ), masterclass (for master photographers), portfolio reviews (for photographers looking for a job or who want to sell themselves better) and partnerships with other galleries (networking at its best). To make the experience complete, the photography festival IS THIS A FEST? brings together some of the best Romanian and Norwegian photographers. We want international recognition of Romanian photography. There is nothing like it in the cultural landscape of Bucharest, a "home" for photography lovers. CdRF provides an ideal space to spend the day, the Is This Art? gallery, a haven for amateurs, beginners or experts in photography, but we welcome you even if you just want to drink a good coffee. We connect photos with each other, but also with professionals from other fields and with the general public.

* The artistic residency on the theme "Sexualization of women and femininity" is ongoing. The two artists selected following the call are Virginia Lupu and Ilina Schileru. Soon we announce artist talks with them, masterclasses and the exhibition. * The CdRF team is in full process of mentoring on cultural entrepreneurship in photography. Among our mentors are Dr. Wiktoria Michałkiewicz (Fotografiska, REZO), Amelie Schüle (FOAM), Ellen K Willas (Willas Gallery) or Natan Dvir (ICP). We learn and improve CdRF with their help. * We launched the CdRF school. We have the most consistent and serious photography course, the equivalent of an academic program. We also have an early bird promotion until May 10th. Places are very limited, the course is state of the art. It starts in June and ends in August. At the end you will know not only what to do with the camera but also what to do in photography. * The next workshops are "Rooftops" with Cornel Lazia, "Performance Photography" with Adi Bulboacă and "Editorial Photography" with Ionuț Staicu. * We are preparing the official opening of the space. In June we will be waiting for you to visit – at the gallery, at the library or simply for a coffee. * We are preparing new pop-up events at OTOTO Victoriei. We will announce details soon. * We have started working on the CdRF archive and curating materials from the body of work of our photographers that tell stories of our recent cultural history. * We are preparing the photography festival. In September 2023. Details coming soon. What we can say at the moment is that we will have masterclasses held by international lecturers. See you soon!
