The project My Neighbourhood With My Camera proposes the exploration of the landscape of the Romanian and Serbian Banat through an exhibition of documentary photography. The exhibition invites the participants to observe the natural, anthropological, historical and artistic characteristics of the historic region of Banat, in images that immortalize the cultural wealth of the region. It is a collection of witnesses of the multiculturality, the complexity of the cultural landscape of the historical Banat, a photographic archive of the most valuable characteristics of the cultural identity the communities in the region present. 

The images presented within the exhibition are the result of the photography workshops carried out in Romania and Serbia, in the summer of 2023, in Timișoara, Vršac and Kovačica. 

Inspired by the stories from 2022 Moving Fireplaces, Vladislav Petković, representing the Cirkuliranje organization, and Miodrag Popović, representing the photography school Fabrika Fotografa, created five inspiring topics that they wanted to connect those stories with the art of photography: Following the Road of Naïve Art in Kovačica; Rivers of Banat, a Fisherman Secret; Here I Come, Here I Go; The Pannonian Sea Nowadays; The Good, The Bad, The Ugly… Life Goes On.
