Our Community Engagement efforts
Las Fotos Project’s staunch belief in art's power to transform not only the individual,
but also society as a whole
forms the foundation of our work.
Our community engagement programming, led by our Youth Advisory Council, ranges from photography demos and talks with creative professionals to community-based mutual aid and advocacy. This programming serves as an opportunity to uplift Black, Indigenous, women, and non-binary creatives and professionals, as well as provide leadership opportunities to youth who are looking to advocate for their community through the arts. These opportunities are meant to show our students the many possibilities that lie ahead of them, and the viability of these opportunities if they choose to pursue a creative career.
Our overarching objective is to generate transformative impact by enabling teenage girls and gender-expansive youth to explore, research, and engage in self-expression about personal lived experiences, and step-up as advocates and storytellers for the experiences of other marginalized individuals and communities.
