Street Interventions: Guerrilla Photography (Adult Class, 2 Day Workshop)

This 2 day workshop empowers participants to embrace the spirit of guerrilla photography as a form of creative resistance and spontaneous expression in the streets of Los Angeles. Participants- in small groups or individually - use the urban landscape for interventions, challenging the conventional boundaries of street photography and engaging with the urban landscape in innovative and unexpected ways. Participants are encouraged to be bold and have fun in their approach, to improvise and embrace the spontaneity and unpredictability of guerrilla photography. We will look at concepts, techniques and historical backgrounds and the work of artists working with interventions in the urban environment. Class will meet on and off-site.

STUDENTS NEED TO BRING THEIR OWN DIGITAL CAMERAS.
Teaching Artist: Monica Nouwens
