This workshop will be led by Dr Manal Massalha, photographer, academic, and community organiser, and will invite you to explore how photography and images can be used to engage with three key actions: disrupt, reflect, and reconnect.
This event is part of Backyard Biennial.
Manal will share selected photography captured by her and ask, what do images do to us? Manal invites you to bring an image with you that you’ve taken or that you’ev seen that speaks to or challenges a stereotype.
Through guided conversation, image sharing, reflection, discussion and writing, as a group we will critically and creatively engage with the role of photography in contemporary divisive, binary times. We will come together to unsettle ourselves, knowing that disengaging can pay a heavy price, and to enrich ourselves in communal connection.
Dr Manal Massalha is an academic, sociologist, urban ethnographer, community organiser/activist & multimedia artist. Manal’s practice bridges theory, research, art and advocacy. In her work, Manal uses social documentary photography, participatory filmmaking, visual storytelling, sound recording, text, discourse analysis and archival excavation.
