The Visual Studies Platform at CEU is pleased to announce an open call for a photography exhibition to be held at the CEU Vienna Campus. We invite students and staff to submit their photographic work that sheds light on various aspects of our world, society, and the human experience. 

We encourage submissions that explore a wide range of topics, from the profound to the seemingly mundane, such as social and environmental issues, urban life, gender and identity, the human condition, the banality of the everyday, personal narratives, and beyond. The exhibition aims to showcase the diverse perspectives and creative approaches of our talented CEU community.

The exhibition is curated by Daniel Halasz, VSP Visiting Professor of Photography at CEU.
