THE OTHERS EUROPEAN TRAVELLERS
Start date: May 1, 2012,

THE OTHERS EUROPEAN TRAVELLERS is a pedagogic photographic project that brings young european photographers together with experts and renown photographers. This initiative aims to explore through a story map, the transformations in the lives and environments of European families that left their original countries for economic reasons starting new lives in other European countries.The project focuses on migrations occured between 1950 and 1970 and explores the evolution of their protagonists until the present day, as well as the circunstances leading to these events. As we consider this topic has not been properly covered from an artistic point of view, OTHER TRAVELLERS wants to recover the memory and the collective imaginary of these citizens, key figures in the construction of modern Europe, and also become an artistic and archival legacy for future generations, using the image as a vehicle for transmitting experiences. This initiative, supported by 4 partners and a network of European cultural operators, will be headed by a group of 12 young photographers sponsored by a group of 12 experts (photographers, curators, editors ...) from different European countries. The resulting works have two main sources: - Documents and photographic archives from the 50s to present- Fieldwork developed by each one of the participants:Each photographer will carry out work around the issue. The work will focus on the creation of a corpus of images that can be supported by sound files, videos, objects, written records, etc.Three actions will be developed during and after the project:1 st Action: Exchange, Fieldwork and Documentation • Local exchanges between participants • Fieldwork and documentation2nd Action: Support for participants • Meetings-Workshops 3rd Action Production and Spreading • Exhibitions • Talks • Publication and DVD • Slideshows • Communication on line: Internet and Media
