One Photo At A Time

ONE PHOTO AT A TIME: MEMORY WORK LAB

A workshop in collaboration with The Guild

APRIL 13, 3 PM - 5 PM

THE SPOT ON DILL

How can an intentional choice to make memories lead to preserving them in both print and digital forms?

Personal archiving can seem like an overwhelming feat for some and a general pastime for others. Just like It is a responsibility of the community at large to remind each other that it is a practice that takes time and commitment. If you focus on One Photo At a Time, one day you’ll look up and have archived more than you would have imagined.

This workshop is led by Atlanta-based artist-archivist Sierra King. It is free and open to the public, but has limited capacity and requires registration.

Participants should bring a smartphone or a physical photograph. They will learn to critically analyze the use of photography to document the lives and experiences of Black people, and will leave with a photograph of themselves or a favorite memory properly protected by archival standards.

ABOUT SIERRA: She is a multidisciplinary artist, archivist and curator living and working in Atlanta,GA. Her practice of art and archiving act as a call and response to one another by utilizing her family collections of documents, ephemera and history to enter in conversations across the collective Black Memory. In all of her art making, archiving and curatorial endeavors, the community is her collaborator.
