time <strong>and</strong> immediately feel part of this family.<br />

The strength of <strong>ISSP</strong> is precisely that of being an<br />

experience different to <strong>the</strong> majority of educational<br />

experiences in <strong>the</strong> field of photography. The fact of<br />

finding yourself in a situation of virtual isolation, in<br />

forced contact with <strong>and</strong> exclusively with <strong>the</strong> members<br />

of <strong>the</strong> "family" is <strong>the</strong> key. The expression of<br />

renunciation, <strong>the</strong> discovery of new practices dictated<br />

by <strong>the</strong> denial of previous ones. Connections that<br />

go beyond <strong>the</strong> mere academic <strong>and</strong> formative aspect<br />

linked to photographic practice are born <strong>and</strong> develop<br />

continuously.<br />

<strong>ISSP</strong> is something that, I can affirm from direct experience,<br />

stays inside you <strong>and</strong> makes you build that<br />

desire of transformation, so essential for <strong>the</strong> growth<br />

of every human being, <strong>and</strong> even more for <strong>the</strong> career<br />

of an artist.<br />

<strong>ISSP</strong> is like a braid - people from all over <strong>the</strong> world<br />

with very different life experiences coming toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

for an intense week in summer, to <strong>the</strong>n go off on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir own to possibly meet again. <strong>ISSP</strong> is <strong>the</strong> most<br />

exciting event of photography (<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> world) of<br />

<strong>the</strong> year, that takes place in Latvia <strong>and</strong> brings toge<strong>the</strong>r<br />

fantastic people from everywhere.<br />
