Perpetrators, Dreams, Texas.<\/h1>\n

16 bachelor’s theses shed light on what is easily overlooked: scenes of right-wing violence in Germany, older LGBTQ+ people, and religious boot camps in Texas. On view starting June 24 at the Gallery of Photography. <\/p>\n

The 16 bachelor\u2019s theses in <\/strong>the Visual Journalism and Documentary Photography<\/a> programme offer diverse perspectives on contemporary realities of life: ranging from personal stories to political, environmental, and historical contexts. They show how people find their place in a changing world, how living spaces are transforming, and how issues of identity, memory, and belonging can be visually explored. With a sensitive yet keen eye, the students create photographic and film works that open up new perspectives and challenge conventional narratives. <\/p>\n\n

For example, \u201cEinfach nur Familie\u201d by Kseniia Apresian<\/a> explores diverse family models that exist beyond traditional norms, while \u201cmade with love and a little bit of science\u201d by Nico Baesecke<\/a> links the topic to the laboratory: family planning through sperm donation. In \u201cStranger you become,\u201d Simon Belperio<\/a> examines historical and contemporary perspectives on migration. With \u201cRoulettenburg,\u201d Serghei Duve<\/a> explores gambling in Germany and investigates what factors foster and perpetuate addiction. For \u201cRevisiting the Agrarian Community Protest,\u201d Paul Hartinger<\/a> traveled to India to shed light on agricultural crises and social injustices. <\/p>\n\n
