Teaser for the upcoming documentary about the national program planned for the 2024-25 school year
Seeing for Ourselves equips and trains marginalized individuals to take control of their own public narrative by documenting their lives photographically.
The practice is known as "participatory photography."
The views of today's teens have not been taken nearly as seriously as those of their elders in the national conversation around climate change—yet they have
the most skin in the game.
Seeing for Ourselves first served New York City housing project residents, then brought its programming
to New Yorkers on probation.
Collaborate with us by teaching a class, hosting an exhibit, or providing programming
in a new locale.
