As part of its 15th anniversary celebrations, Tbilisi Photo Festival and Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum in collaboration with Adjara Group, are honored to host an exclusive workshop led by Magnum photographer Antoine d’Agata.
The workshop is part of the special program conceived to celebrate 15 years of the Tbilisi Photo Festival and 5 years of the Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum.
The five-day intensive workshop will take place in Tbilisi, at Stamba Conference space and the Tbilisi Photography & Multimedia Museum.
The workshop is supported by TBC Wealth Management.
💡Workshop Concept
The workshop challenges participants to push the boundaries of their photographic practice, confronting their inner obsessions and contradictions, all while developing a distinct personal visual language. Moving beyond pure documentary approaches, participants will create a visual diary or inventory - a body of work that liberates them from the conventions of mainstream commercial documentary photography.
Guided by Antoine d’Agata, participants will critically examine the deeper purpose of their photographic work, questioning the relationship between image-making and their personal experience of the world.

◽️About Antoine d’Agata
Antoine d’Agata was born on November 19, 1961, in Marseille, France. At the age of 17, he interrupted his studies to live in the world of the night. For 12 years, he lived and traveled in some 20 countries. In 1991, while living in New York with no photographic experience, he enrolled at the International Center of Photography, where he studied with Nan Goldin and Larry Clark. In 1993, he moved to France, worked as a bricklayer, and stopped his photographic practice until 1997.
Antoine d’Agata’s work can be read as an exploration of contemporary violence from two distinct perspectives: the violence of the day, or economic and political violence (migration, refugees, poverty and war), and the violence of the night, or violence generated by social groups marginalized by poverty (survival through crime, narcotic addiction, sexual excess). For the past 30 years, Antoine d’Agata has lived and photographed all over the world and has published some 50 works. He has been a full member of the Magnum Photos agency since 2008.
