About
Matevž Čebašek (Kranj, 1995) graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague with a Bachelor’s degree in Photography in 2024. For his graduation work he received a stipend from the Stiching tot Steun Foundation. He did his internship with Amsterdam based documentary photographer Henk Wildschut. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions across Europe. In 2025 he won Encontros da Imagem Award in Braga, Portugal.
