Lecture Series: Community Dialogue and Workshop Series on Racial Equity and Inclusion

Description:

Join the Cambodian American Literary Arts Association for this virtual workshop as part of the Community Dialogue and Workshop Series on Racial Equity and Inclusion thanks to the generous support from the Greater Lowell Community Foundation.

Family photographs are often seen as conventional and staged. However, they provide a surprisingly useful resource for refugees to trace their personal histories. This workshop offers tools to see and use everyday images differently
