Is it possible to capture trust? How can one create a safe space where vulnerability becomes strength — a foundation for something profound and beautiful?
In this unique meeting, Angelika Kollin will open the layers behind Tender Ground and speak about her journey as both a person and a photographer.
During the event, we will talk about trust between artist and subject, and about creating a safe space; about intimacy and rituals; about Angelika’s Estonian roots and returning to a home audience; about how personal history, trauma, and longing are woven into her portraits; and about her collaboration with people in front of the lens — “how we give each other strength and courage.”
We welcome everyone drawn to documentary photography, contemporary portraiture, art rooted in empathy, and the journeys of growing both as a person and as an artist.
