Six-week photography workshops created in partnership between Centro, a Minneapolis social service organization that serves the Metropolitan Latino and Chicano communities, OverExposure, and Augsburg College. Augsburg photography students served as OverExposure interns and assisted in teaching 35mm black and white film to 11 teens from Raices’/Roots, a youth development program for high-risk Latino youth. The workshop introduced students to the technical and artistic skills required to properly expose, develop, and print black and white film. Using identity and culture as its themes students produced an exhibition of photographs were presented during August at Centro.
This activity is made possible in part by Augsburg Student Government and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council from an appropriation from the Minnesota State Legislature and the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
