Applications are now open for now open for
the Market Photo Workshop’s Gisèle Wulfsohn Mentorship programme.
The Market Photo Workshop has announced an
opportunity for the development of young photographers; the 2013/14 Gisèle
Wulfsohn Mentorship in Photography. The mentorship will run over a year and will
assist a photographer with the development of a body of work.
The Gisèle Wulfsohn Mentorship in
Photography will provide an emerging photographer the infrastructural support
to develop a body of work over a year. The mentorship has been created by the
family of the late Gisèle Wulfsohn to honour her memory and her work; and is
seen as an opportunity to continue her approach and interests in photography.
Wulfsohn dedicated her life and photography to awareness, openness and respect;
she worked on issues of democracy, HIV/AIDS education and positive identities,
social inclusion, gender issues and women’s rights, and maintained a commitment
to education and social change.
Aimed at developing emerging voices that are
committed to similar issues, the mentorship is supported by the Friends of the
Market Photo Workshop and the Centre for the Study of AIDS at the University of
Pretoria.
