About the program:
The eye of the camera looks out into the world, but self-portraiture is a mirror that turns the lens back around onto oneself. Young people are no strangers to selfies, but a DSLR camera can sometimes be an inaccessible foreign object. Diana Nazareth will be hosting online and in-person photography workshops for kids aged 9 to 14, encouraging them to think outside the box to take self-portraits without showing their faces, while incorporating elements of their identity, culture, and interests. The images will be displayed at Toronto Public Library’s Scarborough Civic Centre Branch branch and in an online exhibition during the Ontario Culture Days festival.
