ANNIVERSARY EXHIBITION
»DIRECTOR’S CHOICE«
The Altes Rathaus Gallery is hosting an exhibition of photographic works from the festival years 2016 to 2023. The exhibition is intended as a retrospective of a decade of RAW and showcases defining moments from the festival’s history. The aim is to highlight how many outstanding photographers have found their way to Worpswede and, at the same time, how artistic approaches and themes have evolved over the years.
