Helena Lea Manhartsberger wins this year‘s Gabriel Gruener Scholarship together with journalist Nora Belghaus. The Zeitenspiegel Reportagen journalists’ association sponsors a team of photographers and writers to realize a journalistic project each year. The Gabriel Gruener Scholarship is awarded as part of the Hansel Mieth Award. It is endowed with 6000 Euros and a stay at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart.
Helena Lea Manhartsberger and Nora Belghaus will use the funds to produce a reportage entitled “Under the Earth the Truth.” The two will accompany an Argentine team of forensic anthropologists in the project. This group is looking for undocumented migrant graves in South America. Helena Lea Manhartsberger graduated in 2021 with her book “sex work—lock down.”
At the Hansel-Mieth Award, Zeitenspiegel Reportagen regularly honours successful collaborations in image and text. Several other graduates of Hochschule Hannover will be honoured this year, including Jesco Denzel, Roman Pawlowski, and Kaveh Rostamkhani, who all find themselves on the awards shortlist.
