Storytelling Through Photography

Description

This workshop is an invitation to use photography — in any form it takes in our lives — as a mirror, a map, and a voice. No photography experience or professional camera is needed: a photo from a family album, an image taken with a phone, or a picture found along the way can all become tools for self-inquiry. Throughout this journey, we explore who we are, where we come from, and what stories we carry in our bodies, using the image as a starting point rather than an end in itself. This space weaves together photography, memory, emotion, and creative expression — open to anyone who wants to look inward through images. Here, the image becomes language; language becomes memory; memory becomes our own narrative.
