Posted: Monday, 28 May 2007 Introducing Youth in the Countryside
Two Neunplus-affiliated photographers, Benja Weller and Klaus Münzner, are working on a new international photography project, Youth in the Countryside. It is intended that the project will focus on the transformations and oppositions between urban and rural youth culture throughout Europe.
The project will feature photographers from eight different European countries, and work from the project will be exhibited in the eight participating countries in an exhibition tour, and in an associated book, to be released in 2008.
Project managers for Youth in the Countryside in Germany are Marc Piesbergen and Klaus Münzner, and the artisic supervisors in Germany are Wiebke Loeper and Robert Lyons.
We would like to thank Kulturstiftung des Bundes' Projekt Bipolar, Allianz-Kulturstiftung and Aktion Mensch for their sponsorship of the project. The Youth in the Countryside website is also now online.
