What does it mean to think about photography today? This question frames Thinking Photography: New Strands in Photo Research, a five-day doctoral
workshop that will take place at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, Milan, from 16 to 20 March 2026. The workshop brings together three international visiting
scholars—Martin Jürgens (Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam), Steffen Siegel (Folkwang University of the Arts, Essen), and Kelley Wilder (De Montfort University, Leicester)—for an intensive programme of seminars, discussions, and collaborative working sessions. Coordinated by Nicoletta Leonardi and Maria Chiara Palandri and conceived as a collective laboratory, Thinking Photography reflects on the methodological transformations currently reshaping photographic studies.
