Collective Portraits & Shared Stories is a hands-on photography workshop that invites participants to explore identity, connection, and community through portrait-making. Inspired by the idea that images can speak where words fall short, this workshop encourages people to slow down, look at one another, and create together.
The workshop culminates in a temporary exhibition displayed during the Geary Art Crawl, transforming individual encounters into a shared visual narrative of the community.
This worskhop is facilitated by Pascaline LeBras.
