Mudec Education has created, with the support of instax by FUJIFILM, four important days
and full of fun, socialization and learning of what one day might
truly turning out to be “the job of one’s dreams”, that of a photojournalist.
The workshops will last about three hours and completely free, subject to availability and upon reservation. aimed at children aged 6 to 8 and children aged 9 to 13. FUJIFILM, for its part, makes its instax instant cameras available to the participantsinstant range synonymous with ease of use and accessible functionality.
In particular, the models will be used by the participants in the workshops instax mini 11 e instax
SQUARE SQ1, cameras with which to print photographs immediately, ready to be
shared in the work group and obviously taken home as a souvenir of the day. Both also suitable for the hands and eyes of young photographers, they have been designed to approach photography and to learn the basics, starting from the analogue one, having fun, even in sharing one’s shots.
Equipped with an instant camera, children will be free to explore the most remote corners of the Mudec, in search of the “perfect shot” that best represents for them the concept of “My Museum”. This is in fact the ‘mission’ of the reportage. Each participant will create a portfolio, a personal ‘treasure’ of 10 shots, printed on instax films.
the ten photographs will be collected, cataloged and then shown to all the other children in the laboratory.
At the end of the activity, the professional photojournalist will provide her own reading of each shotthus giving life to a real exhibition, personal and collective, inside the teaching room, and in the end every little participant will be able to take their work home with them.
A digital collective exhibition will then be born from this project, accessible on a page dedicated to the project on the Mudec website.
