Selected participants — Visual Storytelling & Environmental Memory

We’re delighted to announce the five participants selected for the Visual Storytelling & Environmental Memory workshops.

This Open Call drew 27 applications, and we were genuinely impressed by the overall level of work—several proposals came from established professionals. After reviewing all submissions in a participatory process with the mentors, we prioritised:

• the fit between each project and mentor,

• the potential for an impactful mentorship, and

• an active documentary photo practice rooted in environmental investigations.

Selected Participants

• Marta Bogdańska

• Michele Cardano

• Jozefien Van der Aelst

• Ella Seeger

• Lorenzo Mariani

What happens next

We’ll contact each selected participant individually this week with onboarding details, including the masterclass calendar, mentoring logistics, and next steps.

Thank you!

To everyone who applied: thank you for your time and beautiful proposals. Many strong applications were not selected… This is not a reflection of quality, but of the programme’s focus and where mentors felt they could be most helpful. We truly hope to cross paths again through future editions, public sessions, or other opportunities we’ll announce.
