Corinne Noordenbos Workshop / Tell It In A Book 

Corinne Noordenbos will deliver an intensive workshop over 5 days on visual language, narrative and the photobook as a tool to communicate. 

This is a practice and theory based workshop intended for those with a photographic project they're looking to develop, with a particular focus on the photobook. 

To begin, Corinne Noordenbos will discuss her photographic practice in an artist talk and give an introduction to the photobook on a theoretical and technical level. The workshop will then combine individual tasks, group work and discussions. Tasks will be playful and often with high speed dynamics. Throughout the five days participants will receive training in the development of concept, design, and possible resolutions for their projects.

At the end of the workshop all participants will have produced at least 2 photobook dummies.
