MY LENS / SNAPSHOT PHOTO PROJECTS

HEALING THROUGH ART

A Collaboration of THE DREAM CENTER + THE HOPE CENTER

Everyone cannot articulate their pain, struggle or experience verbally yet yearn for a desire to be heard and seen. What if we could inspire self-expression by giving people a different way to communicate?

OUR PARTICIPANTS:

  • feel as if their voice needs to be amplified/heard

  • have experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, isolation, grief, loss and increased stress

  • have an interest in photography and learning new ways of self-expression

THE SOLUTION: THROUGH THE LENS

YOU WILL LEARN

  • meditation & mindfulness practices

  • composition & lighting

  • visual storytelling

  • creativity

  • visual literacy

  • critical thinking

  • image captioning

  • community engagement

Through the Lens/My Lens, My Voice and Snapshot are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA) with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
