World Biennial Of Student Photography 2017

Description

The Student World Biennial, in the organisation of the Academy of Arts, University of Novi Sad, was first held in 2004. In the same year the First Biennial of Student Poster was organised, and ever since the Biennial of Poster has been held in odd years, and the Biennial of Photography in even years.
Since its beginnings in 2004, the World Biennial of Student Photography has grown into an important platform for exchange of ideas and cross-cultural encounters. Nowadays it stands as the first manifestation in the region to promote the achievements of national and international students in the field of photography. It gathers, via public competition, students’ work in one place, thus presenting a section of pedagogical practices of diverse art institutions worldwide in the form of a group exhibition. Important parts of the Biennial are the accompanying discursive programmes such as lectures by prominent photographers and art theoreticians, panel discussions and portfolio reviews, which encourage participation and interaction between students, academics and visitors.

Organised by the Academy of Arts, University of Novi Sad (Serbia), the World Biennial of Student Photography is open to all undergraduate students of academies and colleges where the discipline of photography is part of the curriculum.
