Queer Photographer Meet Up

The Queer Photographer Meetup is a platform for networking and exchange—for professional TINFA photographers (trans, intersex, non-binary, women, and agender) and anyone interested.

The focus is on professional photographic practices of a wide variety of orientations. The invited photographer discusses working methods, visual languages, and current projects, offering insight into their own creative processes. In the subsequent discussion between the artist and the audience, moderated by Mik Matter, experiences, knowledge, and working methods are openly shared and discussed. The event then concludes with a networking session.

For the first edition, we welcome Tiziana Amico (b. 1991, lives and works in Zurich), an Italian photographer and visual researcher. Her work revolves around the relationship between the body and space—exploring themes of identity, memory, and belonging. It all began with her studies in law: photography initially served as a tool for documenting legal field research. This evolved into an independent practice that examines social realities in Europe and Latin America. Her approach is collaborative—through workshops, interviews, and participant observation, those involved help shape their own narratives. The focus is on the rights of marginalized and stigmatized women.

She has received awards including the near. prize 2024 and second prize at the Swiss Press Photo Award 2025 (International). Her ongoing project “Zagara” is supported by Pro Helvetia.

The event is open to everyone.
