Workshop Orientation Meeting

Written By Jason Houston

This Saturday we officially launched the 2025 Our Indigenous Future workshop! In the end, we found a little extra funding and were able to accommodate ALL TEN of the applicants, doubling the number of photographers we originally thought we could take. We handed out cameras and set our plans for photographing our lives, experiences, and community over the next month and a half. Ages range from 12 to 19, mostly girls, one boy, and one non-binary. Many thanks to Create áyA for their support with a space to meet!
