Colectivo +1 Workshop
Editing Photo Projects

The BDC is organizing an editing workshop in collaboration with Colectivo +1 from Colombia.

The workshop will also feature discussions of Latin American photography and presentations of photobooks/projects by Colectivo +1 members: "Lucía" by Santiago Escobar-Jaramillo, "Dulce y Salada" by Jorge Panchoaga and "Llano" by Juanita Escobar.

COLECTIVO+1

Colectivo +1 is a photo collective of 5 Colombian photographers: Santiago Escobar-Jaramillo, Juanita Escobar, Federico Pardo and Jorge Panchoaga. Their goal is to seek out and foster collaborations between photographers from different collectives and institutions -the “+1”- in order to develop and produce powerful photographic experiences.

Since 2014 Colectivo +1 has been producing 20FOTÓGRAFOS, one of Latin America’s most innovative and impactful photo workshops.

20FOTÓGRAFOS is an intensive educational experience aimed to rethink and reinvigorate photo education and the creative processes behind photo production. 20FOTÓGRAFOS is an 8-day immersive experience that brings together photo editors, instructors and students from all over Latin America, in order to create the ideal scenario to build and strengthen collaborative networks; to exchange and debate ideas around contemporary photography; to create individual and collaborative projects; and to work alongside local communities and leave behind valuable resources. 20FOTÓGRAFOS is a photo camp/retreat in which the participants are encouraged to break away from the industry norms and develop strong interpersonal and collaborative relationships. www.20fotografos.com
