Building of Olympic Stadium, Sochi
Photographer Rob Hornstra and writer and filmmaker Arnold van Bruggen have been working on The Sochi Project since 2009. The Sochi Project seeks to document the development of the Black Sea city – and the wider Caucasus region around it – in preparation for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
The Sochi Project is about working in a challenging region, finding ways of telling complicated stories to a large audience, as well as setting up an independent, crowd-funded and self-published medium.
In the workshop on Saturday 2 November, Rob Hornstra and Arnold van Bruggen will guide participants through the production and publishing of a project on this scale. Including:
- How to survive in the ‘everything for free’ age?
- How to set up the project – allowing you to create and publish the stories the way you want, in your own voice.
- Learn to see opportunities and make your future.
