Facilitator: Kameelah Rasheed

At the Documentary Photographer's Caucus, self-taught, school-taught, street-taught photographers and those aspiring to be something of the sort are invited to participate in an open dialogue about how to use our photography to document our community's needs, dreams, stories, and struggles. How can we inspire positive change and transformation by using photography to challenge the perception of ourselves, our families, and our communities? How can we use photography to imagine and dream of new worlds? Whether you have a disposable camera, a camera phone, a point & shot, an old school manual, or a fancy digital SLR, this caucus is an opportunity to meet up with like-minded activists who use or want to use their camera for a greater purpose. This is an opportunity to to develop collaborative projects, brainstorm community-based exhibitions in alternative spaces, identify online platforms for photography, connect to social justice organizations, and share resources.
Location: Cass Cafe, 4620 Cass Ave.
