The Compass: Care - From Lens to Self Festival 2026

​What continues to exist because someone takes care of it?

​Care often appears in repeated gestures, maintenance, protection and everyday attention. In this Compass session, you will use photography to make these forms of care visible, including those that usually remain in the background.

​Through guided exercises, you will notice what is being maintained over time, what requires presence and what in your own life might deserve more attention.

​Your photo will offer concrete examples to explore together: which gestures sustain something important? What are you already looking after? Where could you give more time or attention? The reflection will end with a small, realistic choice to take into everyday life.

​The Compass connects images, values and actions.
