Conectándonos Más (Connecting Us More)


Conectándonos Más ("Connecting Us More"), by Movimiento Afrolatino Seattle, is a 3-month youth program of designed to educate and inspire young people to reconnect with their ancestral roots and explore the cultural contributions of Afro-descendant communities in Latin America. My participation consisted of two part:

 1. I documented the youth participation photographically and produced a short documentary film highlighting the participants’ experiences and the overall impact of the program. 

2. Facilitated a two-hour parcipatory workshop session “Retrato: Mobil Photography” for the youth participants. This resulted in a final installation showcasing the student self portraits mixed with my photographs of the program and participants.
