The renowned exhibition house<\/strong> for photography and visual media C\/O Berlin<\/a> has entrusted Sophia Greiff with the artistic direction together with Kathrin Sch\u00f6negg<\/a>.

\u201cWith Sophia Greiff, we have been able to attract an accomplished photography curator to the C\/O Berlin Foundation,\u201d says Stephan Erfurt, Chairman of the Board of the C\/O Berlin Foundation. From now on, she will expand the museum’s profile in documentary photography at the interface of photojournalism and artistic practice.

From 2016 to 2022, Sophia Greiff<\/a> was a research assistant in the Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography programme. In this context, she worked in cooperation with the Folkwang University Essen<\/a> on her dissertation about alternative forms of narration and presentation in contemporary photojournalism, among others, on the topic of \u201cresearch-based photobooks\u201d.

She has contributed a great deal of dedication and expertise to various projects in the programme. Together with Karen Fromm<\/a> and Anna Stemmler<\/a>, she co-founded the [IMAGE MATTERS]<\/a> platform and co-edited the volumes \u201cImages in Conflict \/ Bilder im Konflikt\u201d (2018) and \u201cimage\/con\/text. Documentary Practices between Journalism, Art and Activism\u201d (2020). She was also one of the curators of the 7th LUMIX Festival for Young Photojournalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
