¡Únete a nuestro primer taller impartido íntegramente en español! Aprovechando la amplia experiencia de Sol Aramendi enseñando a nuevos inmigrantes hispanohablantes, te invitamos a trabajar con ella y Byron Guinanzaca durante una tarde de práctica de tus habilidades fotográficas. Este taller práctico es una introducción a la fotografía digital, pero está abierto a todos los niveles. Revisaremos el concepto de configuración de cámara, exposición y composición. Además de aprender sobre la técnica, el grupo realizará una sesión fotográfica a través de DUMBO con los instructores para una sesión de fotos en vivo.

Join us for our first ever workshop taught entirely in Spanish! Drawing on Sol Aramendi’s extensive experience teaching to new, spanish-speaking immigrants, we invite you to work with her and Byron Guinanzaca, for an afternoon of practicing your photography skills. This hands-on workshop is an introduction to shooting digital photography, but is open to all levels. We will be reviewing concepts such as camera settings, exposure, and composition. In addition to learning photography techniques, the group will go for a walk in DUMBO with the instructors, for a live photo shoot.

Este es un taller donde debe traer su propia cámara. Nos encontraremos para una introducción y presentación de diapositivas en el área del taller de Photoville antes de salir para una sesión práctica guiada en Photoville y sus alrededores. El taller también incluye una sesión de cierre opcional y una crítica grupal informal, donde los estudiantes pueden compartir trabajos e ideas, y recibir comentarios de los instructores y compañeros del taller.

This is a BYOC (bring-your-own-camera) workshop that will meet for an introduction and slideshow session in the Photoville Workshop Area before heading out for a live, guided shooting session in and around Photoville. The workshop also includes an optional wrap-up session and casual group critique, where students can share work and ideas, and get feedback from instructors and workshop peers.

    Encouraging new immigrants to lead through art, Sol Aramendi works on socially engaged art collaborations that continue to be a part of an evolving social sculpture between labor, immigration, and art.

    Seventeen years ago, she moved from Argentina to the United States and founded Project Luz. The heart of the work consists of facilitating a series of forums called The Workers Studio, where community members can use their own imagination and skills to come up with solutions, responses, and actions.

    For this project, I built on my close ties with the workers of the New York City day-laborer community organizations, which have been the backbone of my professional experience, and deeply embedded in my personal artistic practice. As a facilitator, I use art strategies and the tools from my experience of community organizing in the labor movement. I accompany my work with reflections on participatory action research, and include pedagogical strategies from my work as a teacher.

    Our projects are forums to build creative, social spaces through dialogue and cross-pollination. I have enabled the engagement of innumerable immigrant workers to discuss their issues in a social and creative space.
