We all carry stories within us, memories of where we come from, moments of change, and the quiet details of everyday life. The challenge isn’t finding a story but it’s learning how to give it form. This workshop invites you to transform your personal experiences into a documentary photography project. Working with family archives as a starting point, you’ll explore identity, connect past and present, and create new images that bring your story to life. Don’t have access to family photos? That’s not a barrier. The absence itself becomes the heart of your project,a starting point to explore identity, memory, and imagination. The Creative Process • Expand Your medium: Use photography alongside any medium you feel comfortable with to express your story • Shape Your Narrative: Learn sequencing and composition to build a cohesive story • Create Something Lasting: Finish with a handmade photobook, both a personal artwork and a professional portfolio piece Who is this for? Priority is given to young adults (18–27) with an immigrant background who identify as BIPOC FLINTA*. A limited number of spots are reserved for participants over 27. 🗓 Session Details Saturdays, 4 April – 25 April 2026 3 PM – 6 PM 📍 BIWOC Rising, Dresdener Str. 11, 10999 Berlin 👥 Limited to 15 participants for an intimate learning experience This workshop is made possible with the financial support of Berliner Projektfonds Kulturelle Bildung @kultur_formen and hosted by @biwocrising 🔗 Apply via the link in bio Illustration by @themdana ✨

So excited to welcome you for this International Women’s Rights Month edition of our Feminist Reading & Social Circle! 📚🧡 — LINK IN BIO — We’re thrilled to gather once again at @biwocrising , a beautiful, community-built coworking space infused with care, love, and intention 💜 This month, we’re reflecting on feminist movements, from personal awakenings to collective resistance. Together, we’ll explore the many strategies that shape these movements, while opening space to question: who is included, who is centered, and how can we build more inclusive, intersectional futures? Through shared stories and discussion, we’ll trace how individual experiences connect to broader systems, and how solidarity transforms awareness into action. A conversation that will no doubt bring diverse perspectives, honest reflection, and collective learning. We can’t wait to hold space with you! 🌸
