A workshop exploring the potential of documentary in the digital age.
For the past decade, Mishka Henner has developed a unique method of working that combines the masses of data available online with the ubiquity of digital photography. The results are radical new ways of seeing that have helped visualise previously hidden systems of power.
In this four-day workshop, Mishka will discuss his ideas in-depth, share his working methods, and collaborate with you to develop new and/or existing projects. This will involve exploring different online resources, shaping found material into visual responses, and discussing different ways how the work might circulate in the world.
The workshop is aimed at those with a burning curiosity and who are keen to make discoveries on an eclectic range of geo-political subjects.
The Workshop will take place in collaboration with TransEurope Co-ordinators.

Born in 1976 in Belgium, Mishka Henner is a contemporary artist whose works and methods have helped redefine the scope of documentary photography in the Internet era.

He was included in the New Photography exhibition at MoMA New York in 2015 and has been involved in shows at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Turner Contemporary, Hasselblad Foundation, and the Pompidou Centre. His works are in international collections including the Arts Council England collection, Victoria & Albert Museum, New York Public Library, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. He received the Kleine Hans award in 2011 and is one of the youngest recipients of the International Centre for Photography’s Infinity Award for Art, awarded in 2013. He has also had eleven photography monographs published. He currently lives in the UK.
