Photographer Tanya Habjouqa walks us through how she developed a visual narrative through various photo projects, and how to reimagine creative projects that create felt experiences for audiences. In this 90-minute seminar, Tanya addresses critical theory around issues of representation, community engagement, participatory approaches, and ethical considerations of using story telling as a tool for social transformation.

At GPP, we believe that photography is, among other things, the art of preserving moments. Be it your old family album, an international trip from your youth, or a roll you shot just before lockdown and the 'new normal' – we are committed to helping you protect your negatives, and the memories contained in them.
