Hiding, Veiling, Concealment    Versus    Showing, Unveiling, Discovery

“Veiling/Unveiling” is a 3-phase intercultural seminar gathering 30 participants from different backgrounds (social workers, animators, artists, etc.) from Lebanon, Germany and France and spanning 3 cities: Hamburg, Beirut and Marseille.

Participants learn to adopt a constructive approach relying on photography and perception to examine why and how people hide or show certain topics or objects, or even their own bodies.

The project aims to overcome prejudices based on stereotypes and misrepresentations in the media by promoting tolerance and encouraging integration.

• Intercultural Animations
• Initiation to Digital Photography & Photography Workshops

The 3^rd and final phase of the seminar will take place in Marseille in November 2012.
