During the cross-cultural exchange, the camera became a tool to bring these two populations together and open up outlets for self and group expression and understanding. The photographs and narratives about the their experiences reflect emotions found in daily life in the participants’ communities, their homes, and with one another. Members of the youth group will be present to discuss the project and its impact on their lives.
