Connect the Dots with Isaac Diggs


Isaac Diggs Workshop
International House Hotel (Teutonia Room)
Friday, Dec 13, 2019
9am-4pm

Class limit: 10
Workshop fee: $195 | REGISTER HERE

Connect the Dots: Photographic Practice in the Context of Community
This workshop is for artists interested in leveraging the power of community to realize their projects. We will explore strategies that help us engage the collective wisdom of the communities we hope to affect throughout the creation, funding and presentation of our work- without losing a sense of control or authorship. Isaac will present three personal case studies from various environments that highlight the joys and challenges of collaboration, developing networks, fiscal sponsorship, working in new environments and crowd funding, among other issues. Ample time will be given to discussing the work of participants with an eye to helping you jump start your project.

Who should attend?

This workshop is open to all who are interested in starting or currently working on a community based project. Through a series of presentations, group discussions, and portfolio reviews, participants will learn how to more effectively engage with communities.

Class Preparation
Participants should bring a digital portfolio of 10 images to share with the class.

About the instructor
Isaac Diggs is a photographer and educator. For over two decades he has photographed the urban fabric of cities and communities in the United States and abroad, receiving support from the Asian Cultural Council, The Center for Photography at Woodstock, The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and The Puffin Foundation. His work has been exhibited in the United States and Japan, and is part of private and public collections including the New York Public Library and the Walker Art Center.

A native of Cleveland, OH, Diggs received his B.A. in English Literature at Columbia University and his M.F.A. in photography from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. He has taught at the School of Visual Arts since 2000. His book, 125th: Time in Harlem, done in collaboration with Edward Hillel, was published in 2014.
