Youth photography | FOTOGALERIE Friedrichshain

Jugend fotografiert is an exhibition and workshop series initiated by FOTOGALERIE Friedrichshain that gives children and young people the opportunity to present their photographs in a professional gallery and to be involved in the creation of an exhibition under the guidance of an experienced team. In 2016 – 2019 and 2022 -2025 Jugend fotografiert group exhibitions were held with numerous participants. The diverse results from their own workshops, working groups, art lessons and photography projects were shown to a broad public in cooperation with schools and youth initiatives.
