This class is sold out — but email us to join the wait list and we’ll let you know of any openings.

Developed in conversation with Stefan Frank (instructor, Poetics of Space: Explore the Vast Universe of Your Home), this class invites you to explore a range of photographic genres to develop new perspectives on the place you call home. We'll draw inspiration from a diverse spectrum of photographers, including Robert Frank, Lisa Modotti, Sophie Calle, Carrie Mae Weems, and Gordon Matta-Clark. Corresponding weekly exercises will prompt you to experiment with different photographic approaches to forensically, intimately, and playfully investigate the visual and conceptual potential of your home and its contents. We'll discuss your work as it develops and together build a deeper understanding of how photographing “home” may communicate lived experience, speak about who we want to be, or reflect who we truly are.

 

 
I really enjoyed taking “Architecture and Narrative” with Marianne — she is a very, very inspiring teacher and I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive.

Thank you so much for this fantastic photography journey together! I will definitely miss our image & text class next Monday evening. It has been such a really inspiring course. I learned a lot from all of you and am really grateful for all the precious feedback you gave me about the project. I will keep them in mind while working on the next steps.
