TAKE A SEAT: Räume für Fotografie - Better together

In the organizer's words:

Rooms for photography - Better together

📆Saturday, May 30, 2026
🕢18:00 - 19:30 (admission from 17:30)
📍Q18 Quartier am Hafen, Poller Kirchweg 78-90, 51105 Cologne
Free admission

In May, we invite you to take a seat at the table with Havîn Al-Sîndy (she/he), Samson Grzybek (none) and Han Vogel (dey/he) and talk about collectivity.

This time, Take A Seat is embedded in a presentation between exhibition and studio - "Call for local artists". This temporary collective emerged from the Studio Visits Open Call in March and April 2026, which was organized by Photoszene Köln in cooperation with eye got space.

Are there differences between planned and lived collectivity?

Are sustainable constellations and responsibilities possible?

Which spaces are useful for collective processes?
What if they fail?

Photographers, curious people, cultural practitioners, curators and anyone who (would like to) engage with this topic are cordially invited.

Moderation: G. Kühnhardt Alvarez (dey/deren)

Photos and videos will be taken during the event for public relations purposes.
