The works presented in this exhibition are the final result of a photographic narrative workshop with a black and white laboratory which, based on an analysis of the work of photographer Edward Weston, challenged participants to construct an authorial project based on their interpretation of Weston’s work, enabling a performative journey through the language of photography, from image capture to printing.

MEF – Movimento de Expressão Fotográfica (Photographic Expression Movement) is a non-profit association that works in the field of imaging, with a special focus on photography. Founded in 2000, MEF originated from photography courses organised by the Carnide Parish Council (Project 1600), as part of the Lisbon City Council’s ‘Contigo Vais Longe’ programme.

Currently, MEF’s main objective is to raise public awareness of photographic art and the use of images as artistic stimuli, promoting photography as a form of expression, reflection and personal development. Its activities are divided between artistic, educational and exhibition projects, organised into three complementary areas: social development, community development and cultural development.
