Introduction
Hello All,
I started this page to help raise funds for the digital photography workshops that I offer around the world. With a focus on providing basic skills, media literacy, and documentation of diverse issues and experience, the workshops encourage cross-cultural understanding and empowerment, providing voice to people from low-income and marginalized communities.
Beginning in March 2008 I offered my first workshop in Cairo, Egypt. The workshop was offered in conjunction with the Townhouse Gallery of Contemporary Art as part of their SAWA outreach program. Townhouse established SAWA in 2006 to encourage co-operation between mainstream and refugee communities in Cairo.
I purchased ten digital cameras to offer to workshop participants who otherwise would not have had access. These cameras were loaned out during the course of the workshop and donated to Townhouse for future programming. As a result of this donation Townhouse is establishing a new permanent component of their outreach department to teach digital photography to street children. The cameras will also be utilized in future SAWA workshops.
I would like to recreate this workshop in several locations internationally, beginning with Kathmandu this August. Any money collected here will strictly be used for equipment and materials. The equipment is offered to local organizations and made available for future in-country outreach and educational programing. I volunteer my own time in order to offer these workshops.
Please let me know if have any questions as Iâ??d be happy to tell you more about the experience. Even a few dollars makes a great difference. No amount is too small.
I deeply appreciate your support!
All best,
Adrianne
