Give a kid a carema and look what happens! I love this shot. It was for no particular assignment, so I can't take much credit, but it is fun to see my kids get creative and have the freedom to take pictures.!
Cholo (one of my Escojo members took this picture)
This is the grant I just got! I am so excited!
Rachel Gottesman ($1,500 RD): Rachel has been teaching photography to her Escojo group over the past eight weeks and they have been using it as an educational tool for sexual education and healthy decision making. Using the GAD Grant, Rachel will be planning a photography exhibit on March 8th, International Women’s Day. Members of her Escojo group will take pictures of both male and females participating in activities that contradict traditional gender roles that have been developed in the community. These photos will be displayed in a public exhibition and a presentation will accompany the exhibit regarding the meaning of gender and how it influences society. The youth will each present their photo and talk about what gender role applies to that photo in particular. Additionally, each Escojo member will take a picture of the woman they most admire in the community, present the photo and talk about why this woman is important to them. The GAD Grant will provide the funds to develop enlarged pictures for the exhibition and brindis for the activity.
