Visualizing the Invisible: Student Photojournalism Workshop

How to Visualize the Invisible: Practicing Photojournalism in Underreported Communities

Student Workshop Hosted by Pulitzer Center & Press Pass NYC
In Collaboration with the Bronx Documentary Center
 

Join photojournalists Quinn Glabicki and Stephanie Strasburg to learn how they visually capture unseen realities in vulnerable communities. Explore how documentary photography can uniquely show under-told stories of resilience and injustice—and inspire community-powered action and change. Using the principles of trust building with sources, students are then invited to practice capturing their own images in the local neighborhood.

This workshop is open to all 9th-12th grade students in the NYC area. Registrants should bring a smartphone with a working camera. A portion of this course will also involve walking short distances. 

Space is limited: register to join us today! If you have any concerns or questions about the event or its requirements, please contact [email protected] before registering.
