Esta Soy Yo, Self-Exploration through Photography

What does it mean to be a teen girl in the world today, and how are those experiences represented? Las Fotos Project, a nonprofit mentorship organization based in East Los Angeles, creates a supportive environment for teenage girls from communities of color to answer those questions through photography. Hear from our teen photographers featured in the Esta Soy Yo exhibition at Photoville Los Angeles and join a conversation on understanding identity, learning photography, and affirming the importance of creative expression.

This panel is part of Photoville LA Education Day, and open only to participants of this program. To learn more and register, please go here.
