Mary Gelman will present her long-term project about the unique social place “Camphill Svetlana Village”, where the majority of the villagers are people with mental and physical disorders. The villagers are trying to build an inclusive and diverse society based on horizontal relationships. During the lecture Mary will also focus on the concept of ‘otherness’, participatory approach, difficulties and motivation in work and how to sustain long-term documentary projects.
