The Compass: Courage - From Lens to Self Festival 2026

​Is there something you tend to avoid because approaching it would require attention, a choice or a conversation?

​This Compass session explores courage through what you choose to look at and what you sometimes turn away from.

​With two guided photographic exercises, questions and a guided reflection, you will look at a situation that creates resistance and consider a concrete way of moving closer to it and explore possible choices without imposing interpretations: the meaning of the photographs and the decisions that follow remain yours.

​The Compass connects photography with values and direction, helping you identify a realistic next step grounded in your own observations.
