About this Event

Students aged 14-18 are invited to participate
in a free 3-week workshop where they’ll create individual books that will explore personal histories through the use of photographs, writing prompts, and drawings. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Teens will learn to utilize the various techniques employed in personal storytelling to heal, empower, and inspire as they process complex feelings and life experiences. The goal of the workshop is for each student to gain valuable new tools for self expression, and a create a book about their lives from their own perspectives.

The workshop will culminate in a showcase of student work at the Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW) for their friends, family, and faculty to see.

Brenda Ann Kenneally is a multi-media documentary maker, Guggenheim Fellow, and activist whose visceral, long-form projects have broadened the humanistic scope of the documentary form. A frequent contributor to The New York Times Magazine, Kenneally has won several major awards, including the The W. Eugene Smith Award for Humanistic Photography, a Soros Criminal Justice Fellowship, The Mother Jones Documentary Photography Award, the World Press Photo Award, a NYFA Grant, the Best of Photojournalism Award by the National Press Photographers Association, and several grants from New York State Council for The Arts.

Her 2006 book, Money, Power, Respect; Pictures of My Neighborhood (Chanel Photographics), is a decade-long look at the Brooklyn neighborhood where she and her son lived.

Her 2018 book Upstate Girls: What Became of Collar City 2004–2013 (Regan Arts, 2018) sold out. Published with Regan Arts, the book powerfully captures how the paucity of social, legal, and economic opportunities straight-jacket and harm the psyches of two generations of young people growing up in Troy, NY.

Kenneally founded A Little Creative Class in 2018 to address the social, and economic obstacles that deter low-income youth from participation in the idea-based, creative economy.
