​TESTEMONIALS:
'The workshop was very well-planned. During 6 online meetings we discussed good, concrete, useful ideas on how to present our own work to an audience. It was also hands-on writing practice, and there was time to practice different situations ‘live’ during every meeting. I gained more security on presenting my work for sure, and even better got so much more relaxed.’ - Louise Bøgelund Saugmann
“This course was fantastic! I gained valuable insights into project presentation, writing a bio, and crafting an artist statement. The constructive feedback from Stig, guest photographers, and fellow participants was invaluable.” - Inguna Abuce
