The Summer School 'The Power of the Visual: Creative Documentary and Human Rights' was held in Budapest in July 2024. The intense 6 day program was hosted by CEU's Summer University Program; co-funded by Open Society University Network (OSUN), and organized in cooperation with Blinken OSA Archivum.
The course invited artists, students, and scholars in humanities and social sciences who are engaged in the production, distribution, and analysis of documentary visual imagery and who recognize film as an important communication medium. The course was co-directed by Oksana Sarkisova, head of the executive committee of Visual Theory and Practice (VTP) advanced certificate program and of the Visual Studies Platform.
Four students from the VTP program, Claire Bower, Beatriz de Figueiredo, Ioana Popescu and Milan Szabo attended this intense summer school program.
