Process

1. Get the participants to form small groups of no more than four people.

2. Each group receives an identical set of historical photographs. They can work with with photocopies / prints in A4 size or use their computers. If you don’t have a collection of your own use the PDF-file (78,3 MB) “Photos Collection”. You can find it under the Menu “Documents”.

3. Each group then creates a small exhibition.

4. There are no guidelines. Title, selection and processing of the pictures is left entirely to the participants, i.e. they are free to cut out, emphasise or alter the pictures any way they want.

5. Looking at the (unknown) pictures, the group agrees on a “script” and realizes it on one or more posters.

6. After an hour, the “exhibitions” should be ready for presentation, i.e. the pictures mounted, titles or legends written out, if used.

7. Now the groups present their posters. Important points are the underlying concept and the manner of realising it.

8. After each group presentation, the other groups can ask questions or comment on the exhibition.
