Shoot Nations Colombia Workshop 2011
24 November 2010
47 young people from the communities in Cartagena spent the day learning about
the power of photography and how to communicate using photographs.
They considered the project theme of urbanisation and ventured into
the streets of El Pozon are where the workshop was held to capture their views on what city living means
to
them, presenting their views to the rest of the group in a final
presentation.
Their photos from the day were hung
along with the other Shoot Nations photos at the
Shoot Nations Colombia
exhibition at the Claustro de Santodomingo, as part of the
Hay Festival.
The photos showed thoughtful and surprising interpretations of city
life, from not wanting to grow up too fast to the importance of
preserving Colombian culture and the the need for space and freedom for
young people to flourish.
