A Thousand Small Stories and Belonging and Beyond explore portraiture as a space for identity, belonging, and shared experience. Eileen Perrier transforms makeshift studios into sites of social engagement, while Dianne Minnicucci redefines the classroom as a collaborative studio.
Building on these themes, join us for a hands-on workshop exploring the role of collaboration in portraiture and creative practice. Led by artist Farihah Chowdhury, this session will introduce DIY approaches to photographing people in community settings.
