Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Las Fotos Project will partner with Outfront Media/JCDecaux to implement a series of public photography exhibitions to be installed at bus shelters located throughout the neighborhood of Lincoln Heights. The public installations will feature the works of Esta Soy Yo program participants, who will each be asked to create personalized photo essays that honor the rich culture and history of the surrounding region and its residents.
Organization Summary
Founded in 2010, Las Fotos Project (a Community Partners project) is a non-profit community-based photography program located in Los Angeles, whose primary goal is to advance positive change for adolescent girls and gender-expansive youth through one-on-one mentoring, photography trainings, and assigned field projects. Our programs and services also foster the creativity, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration skills needed to compete in a 21st century workforce. We annually serve more than 300 female and gender-expansive students between the ages of 13-18 from communities of color, who do not have access to photography equipment or arts-based programs.
