FOTOSOMMER STUTTGART 2013 – Special Events

Conference 'Centre and Periphery: or how to put yourself on the map'
Thursday 15th to Saturday 17th August 2013

The conference will focus on the issue what it means 'to be European' no matter if living in centres or in

to be visible in Europe's art-world, about contemporaneity of diverse lifestyles and mentalities.
