WEBINARS
Agora | Ecologies of the Image
What happens when nature ceases to be merely the subject of a photograph and becomes its support, its material, and its laboratory? In this webinar, we explore photographic practices that connect light, chemistry, plants, territory, and sustainability. From cyanotype, anthotype, and other solar printing processes to the use of organic supports, natural materials, and more responsible photochemical methods, we discover new ways of creating images in dialogue with our environment.
Agora | Expanded Photochemistry Webinar: The Rebirth of Experimental Processes
In this webinar, we explored the fascinating resurgence of experimental photochemical processes alongside artists who are transforming historical techniques into contemporary tools for innovation. We discussed how these hybrid methodologies are redefining analogue image-making today, from image ecologies and new materialities to ways of working that combine science, intuition, and the visual arts.
The webinar featured outstanding artists and specialists: John Beaver (@beaver1801), Lynn Bierbaum (@lynn_bierbaum), and Paweł Kula (@fotopeuta).
Agora | Photography and Artificial Intelligence: Rethinking Creativity
In this webinar, we explored the fascinating intersection of photography and artificial intelligence, alongside artists who were redefining the boundaries of visual creation.

Agora| Webinar The Art of Alternative and Experimental Photography
In this webinar, we explored the universe of alternative and experimental techniques with photographers who had made innovation their visual language.

For this webinar, we had the presence of great artists: Liz Nielsen (USA), Takashi Arai (Japan-Germany), and Bill Armstrong (USA)! It was an opportunity to discover new tools, be inspired by unique examples, and find ideas to take one’s practice into unexplored territory.
