Activism Through Photography
Professional Development Workshop by Dorie Hagler
As part of the CENTER’s summer programming Art & Oppression, photographer and activist Dorie Hagler will lead a two-day workshop. Hagler will discuss advocacy and activism through photography and best strategies for creating change. Participants will work on collaborative photographic projects, examine ways to find your way to meaningful works, consider current projects, participate in salon style critique sessions, etc. Hagler will have one or more guest lecturers to help elaborate on the creative, political and legislative process of facilitating reform and advocacy through photography.
DORIE HAGLER has photographed maximum-security prisoners at Graterford Prison in Collegeville, PA, coffee workers in Mexico while on assignment for Coffee Kids, and strikers as part of the Black Lives Matter protests. She recently started me&EVE, a project that combines contemporary portraiture of women with their commentary on issues surrounding equal rights for women and the current state of politics. Many of those photographed participated in the Women’s March on Washington and in other cities in early 2017 and this project garnered press from NYMAG, Upworthy, Forbes, and The New York Times.
