Acerca del libro
In February 2013, a group of teens from three townships near Cape Town, South Africa, came together for a journey. They didn't travel far, but they began a journey of discovery that could profoundly influence the direction they choose to take next.
They gathered for a photography workshop sponsored by US-based nonprofit Love to Langa over six consecutive Saturdays, to learn the techniques of photography and then begin to document their lives.
They discover how visual storytelling can give them the freedom to examine who they are and what they want to do with their lives. Guided by specific assignments and themes, they are encouraged to look for beauty and value where they may have never seen it before—in their homes, in their neighborhoods, and especially in themselves.
The stories they tell are empowering. Photography helps release a voice in them that has often been muted or lost entirely. They gain confidence as they discover a sense of their own capabilities. When they see things they want to change, they start to realize that they have choices and can have a say in shaping their own future.
Thanks to the generosity of The Bazemore Gallery in Philadelphia, PA, a selection of the photographs will be exhibited from November 20-December 13, 2014.
The book features poetry written by Philadelphia-area children and young adults which was inspired by the photographs.
