A week of walking, shooting, developing and making things with your hands. Five gatherings at Kulture House, each one a small excuse to put the phone down and go outside.
All levels welcome. Come to one, or come to all of them.
A slow afternoon walk through Jumeirah with a camera in hand. We start at Kulture House, wander the neighbourhood, and stop whenever something catches the light. Led by Meander and Malteaters. Bring your own camera or phone, or shoot the walk on an mndr35.
Includes
Guided photowalk around Jumeirah
A free dessert with any coffee ordered at Kulture House
Optional: try an mndr35 with a roll of film for AED 45

Less about settings, more about seeing. Malteaters walks you through how he thinks about food on camera: what makes a plate worth stopping for, how to find the story in a table, and how to build content that feels like a real moment instead of an ad.
Includes
A three hour session with Malteaters
His process for planning, shooting and sharing food content
Take a roll from the canister to the negative with your own hands. Filmoticon guide you through developing black and white film from start to finish, and there's something about watching your images appear for the first time that never gets old.

Phones go in a box at the door. What's left is people, paper, and the photos we keep meaning to do something with. Everyone gets a small sample of the mndr journal to write in, stick things in, and fill however they like, then take home. Bring your archives: old prints, stamps, ticket stubs, anything worth keeping. A slow evening to close the week and meet the people who were part of it.
Includes
A small mndr journal sample to fill during the night and keep
A phone free evening of journaling, collaging and conversation
