Photo Voice
Workshop Series
Tuesdays, Now-June 24, 4:00-6:00 PM
NAGLY Salem
Photo Voice uses images as a tool to identify problems by posing meaningful questions in a community to find solutions. For NAGLY Youth, Youth will be tasked with the question:
What does Pride mean to you?
During this 6-week workshop series, you will be tasked with taking photos that activate your voice through photography! Each week we will go out in the community and take 5-6 photos. We will then come back as a group and discuss. By the end of this journey, each youth will choose one of their photos to get professionally printed and displayed both at NAGLY and other art galleries, if approved.
Open to LGBTQ+ youth ages 14-18
If interested, please RSVP below.
