 value (String, 6950 characters ) Open Call for Applications: International Residency Researching the Photo Archive and Producing an Exhibition The Estonian National Museum's photo archive, ranging from glass negatives to digital images, is open to researchers. Four residents will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in our photo archive over a six-month period and, as a result of their work, co-create a joint exhibition in ERM’s temporary exhibition hall (742 sqm), open from 26 November 2026 to 26 April 2027. Submit your application <a href="https://forms.gle/c8BqRDNPVDPwHziV9">here</a> no later than 28 February 2026.  The Collection The Estonian National Museum holds more than 400,000 photographs, collected since the second half of the 19th century. Established in 1910, the collection documents everyday life in Estonia, material culture, and social change. Every archive functions as a form of infrastructure: what is collected, how it is described, what is digitised, and how it is made accessible all rely on specific decision-making models. Catalogue cards, metadata, and database queries reflect value choices and shape access to memory—and, consequently, how that memory is understood. The Framework This residency operates within the context visual anthropology, examining photographs not just as images of culture, but as evolving cultural practice itself. What do people do with pictures and what do pictures do with people? In modern data-driven societies, photographs undergo another metamorphosis, through technical systems that are not neutral. The Estonian National Museum offers four residents a collaborative creative research process. We propose a few points of reference, while we welcome diverse interpretations.  1. The Archive as Everyday Culture What kinds of lives are considered “everyday”? What is deemed worth photographing? How have the collector’s questions and working frameworks shaped what entered the archive? 2. Looking, Ethics, and Interpretation This perspective focuses on the social dimension of photography. Who photographed whom—and why? What power relations existed between photographer and subject? How do these photographs become public heritage? 3. Montage, Patterns, and Time When similar images are placed side by side, what patterns or narratives emerge? How does repetition produce categories of normality and typicality? 4. The Archive as Infrastructure Examining the archive as an operational system. How do metadata schemes and digitisation choices affect the discoverability of photographs? How do technical decisions shape cultural memory? Process Residents will work with a shared body of material to ensure comparability of outcomes. Continuous collaboration is expected through workshops and feedback sessions, culminating in a jointly produced exhibition.
