Description

Engaging in honest, clear and provocative storytelling is a political act. In this class students unpack the many cultural, ideological and personal stories that are part of the changing documentary tradition. From citizen journalism to installa-tion, contemporary challenges bring fresh perspectives to what is art and what is real. Students craft a final portfolio in color or B+W. 35mm and DSLR cameras available.
