SHOOT NATIONS - Picture Power
OUAGADOUGOU WORKSHOP 2007
The Ouaga workshop and exhibition was the penultimate leg of the four country tour that aims to give the entries some global exposure and explore the theme of governance physically with young people in workshops in each country.
The workshop was open to young people from 11 - 24. Participants worked in teams on a mini 'Shoot Experience' photographic event in the morning, getting out onto the streets with their cameras and depicting governance related questions through photography. The afternoon was spent looking at all the photographs and discussing ideas and stimuli in groups. Winners were chosen and selected photos were displayed at the private view.
The day was incredible. 85 super enthusiastic kids arrived and we schooled them in on the cameras before sending them into the centre of Ouga to take their photographs. Despite the 40 degree heat teams returned energized and eager to explain the meanings behind their shots and their hopes for the future.
