About us
Telling the private and political through photography and film is the approach of unofficial.pictures. Our aim is to create empathy and understanding beyond social groups and milieus and thus reduce discrimination. Specifically, we develop exhibitions, books, newspapers and films and repeatedly empower other people in workshops to use these approaches for themselves and their concerns. The focus is always on the inclusion of people from social groups that are underrepresented in the media.
Unofficial.pictures was founded in Leipzig in 2016 by documentary photographers Frieder Bickhardt and Rafael Brix. Thanks to a steady stream of new project funding, over 40 projects have been realized since 2016.
Since 2020, we want to use contemporary art at our second location in Suhl to stimulate dialogue about social coexistence again, starting in autumn 2024 in our Community Art Center.
