The On Photography exhibition, opening on 14 November in Studio Viennoise, will be looking at contemporary approaches to photographic studio practice through an exhibition of selected historical examples.
The exhibition pays tribute to well known, along with forgotten photographers.
They show video testimonials describing some of the practices of the "last studios" as well as current practices.
Visitors can participate in image production through the Living Studio; a working photography studio where each photographer and artist will recreate their own practice, producing artwork that will later be showcased at the end of the exhibition.
Various talks, film screenings, master classes and photo sessions with selected photographers will take place throughout the exhibition until 16 December. During the closing reception Finissage production of the Living Studio will be displayed.
The exhibition is curated by Heba Farid and Paul Geday and is part of the Photographic Memory of Egypt project by Cultnat.
