Join Aperture for a day of family fun with photographers Alice Proujansky and Angélica Dass as they explore with participants the themes of self-portraiture and identity through two photo activities.

In her book “The Colors We Share” Angélica shows us how wonderfully colorful humans really are. In the second activity participants will discover how to mix their own skin color with paint, and discover how they see themselves and others, through both similarities and differences.
