Bahrain Gallery

Al-Riwaq Gallery, Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain. May 2006. This workshop was developed as part of Moving Walls: A Documentary Photography Exhibition. An international exhibition curated and sponsored by the Open Society Institute, a private operating and grantmaking foundation based in New York City. Edward Grazda, whose photographs "NY Masjid: The Mosques of New York City" are included in the exhibition, taught a five-day workshop to thirteen young photographers, both Bahraini and international residents of Bahrain. The workshop struck a balance between fieldwork and editing exercises, immersing the students in a learning experience that encouraged them to develop their own way of seeing. The final result from the workshop, presented as a public projection at the Al-Riwaq gallery, is a dynamic interpretation of life in Bahrain.
