Students in Chute Middle School's Advanced Media Arts class explored themes of social justice & identity through a PhotoVoice Project. Stop by this evening to meet the artists and see their pieces.
Over the past six weeks, students in Chute Middle School's Advanced Media Arts class explored themes of social justice and identity through a PhotoVoice Project. KIDS Global Network, Inc., local photographer Yancey Hughes, and the Library partnered with Chute Media Arts teacher Sherri Kushner to bring PhotoVoice to the students. PhotoVoice is an internationally recognized participatory photo method in which students use cameras to document their lives and share their experiences. Through the program students explored issues of race, gun violence, bullying, and other issues, and how social justice relates to their own lives. They studied how artists use photography as a social justice tool to speak out about what they stand for and make their voices heard in the community. Students will display their work at the Evanston Public Library December 27- January 31.
