On the first two days, we’ll set up a photo studio. On Day 3, we’ll host a family photo session. The workshop is for people ages 13–25. Family photo sessions are open to everyone.

Join us in setting up an analog photo studio, or stop by with your whole family or friends and have your portrait taken with an analog camera! Back in the day, before we had smartphones or digital cameras, photography was a craft and a solemn occasion. Going to a photo studio offered a unique chance to capture a moment in time. In photo studios, people often posed together with family or friends and used props or backdrops to create other worlds, dress up, or pretend they were in a faraway place.

During the Christmas break at Tensta Konsthall, we’re setting up an analog photo studio together with artist Sara Rad. On December 28–29, we’re inviting young people ages 13–25 to help paint the backdrop, create props, and set up the studio. There will also be a tour of our current exhibition Remnants, a talk by artist Sara Rad, and a workshop on how to take photos with a 35mm analog camera. On December 30, we invite everyone—young and old—to come and have their photo taken with their whole family, friends, or chosen family.
