Sarah Waiswa Foundry Presentation
Sarah Waiswa gives a presentation at the 2019 Foundry Photojournalism Workshop about her project documenting Kimbanguism, a Christian religious movement founded by Simon Kimbangu in the Belgian Congo in 1921, and another titled "African Cityzens," a project co-created with Joel Lukhovi that documents stories around public transport and national borders in Africa. The Foundry Photojournalism Workshop offers majority world students who could not otherwise afford it a chance to learn from some of the world's most well respected photojournalists and photography professionals. Sarah Waiswa is a Ugandan born Kenya-based freelance documentary and portrait photographer with an interest in exploring identity on the African continent, particularly the New African Identity. Her work focuses on changing the narrative on Africa by generating dialogue on developing issues through visual documentation. She is currently involved in a Trans African photographic journey, documenting daily city life in all 54 countries of Africa over a period of five years. After getting both her sociology and psychology degrees and working in a corporate position for a number of years, she decided to pursue photography full time. It was one of the hardest/easiest decisions she ever made. A storyteller, Sarah’s work focuses on identity and explores themes surrounding isolation and belonging. From the persecution of people with Albinism, to children practicing ballet in Kibera. In more recent work, in the long-term project Kimbanguism, Sarah explores the Kimbanguist faith as an afro Christian movement but one rooted in resistance against a colonial regime that imprisoned their black messiah for 30 years. Her portraiture project, "Stranger in a Familiar Land", explores the persecution of albinos in sub-Saharan Africa, in which they are hunted for the perceived magical powers of their body parts. The series sets an albino woman against a background of the Nairobian slums of Kibera, which represent the stormy outside world. The model's dreamlike pose in societal isolation reflects both the model's alienation and the photographer's hesitance towards her society. Waiswa developed the project to raise awareness after reading a newspaper article about treatment of albinos in Tanzania. Part of their shoot consisted of responding to the jeering throng. Aida Muluneh, the photographer who presented the award, described Waiswa's photography as reflecting her surroundings' complexities. While Sarah Moroz of i-D praised the clarity with which Waiswa presented the isolation of albino identity, as the model's lighthearted accessories defied an insurmountable air of rejection, Sean O'Hagan of The Guardian considered the otherwise "brave" effort "oddly overstaged". Waiswa's work explores what she calls a "New African Identity": how younger generations of Africans feel more expressive and less restrained by tradition than their predecessors. She also sought to counteract stereotypical depictions of Africa, often the result of foreign rather than native photographers. Additionally, many of her subjects are women. In 2016, Waiswa was working with photographer Joel Lukhovi on "African Cityzens", which records daily life in multiple African cities. They participated in a 2017 book that shows the Maasai people in truthful, quotidian context, rather than as stereotypical warriors. For Waiswa, the project consummated a search for information on a poorly documented ancient female deity.

Nina Robinson Presentation: Foundry 2022
In this video, Nina Robinson discusses the importance of family photographs, and how they can be intergenerational learning opportunities. Nina Robinson is an award-winning documentary photographer, educator, and Fujifilm Ambassador. Including precisely what is necessary, her work has been described as tender, cinematic and visceral. It has been featured on international platforms, including Netflix, Lifetime, RollingStone, New York Times, and TIME. She covers stories in the American South, Midwest, and East coast. Robinson developed a groundbreaking and innovative phototherapy program in 2015 with senior citizens at William Hodson Community Center in the Bronx. Through the use of photography, older residents were able to explore personal and social issues openly. She continues similar social workshops and programming centered around photography across the country. Robinson is committed to making photography in and with communities to expand knowledge, build relationships, and diversify visual narratives. Foundry Photojournalism Workshop provides majority world students who could not otherwise afford it, a chance to learn from some of the world's most well-respected photojournalists and photography professionals.

Jason Eskenazi - Storytelling and Visual Literacy
Photographer Jason Eskenazi, a Fulbright Scholar and Guggenheim Fellow, discusses storytelling and visual literacy through the extraordinary photographs he took for his book, Wonderland (which won the prestigious Pictures of the Year International Book Award in 2008). Jason illustrates what he calls the visual grammar of photography, which includes composition, light, perspective, and context, and how he strives to work within that grammar to capture images with an emotional resonance. See more interviews with Foundry Workshop Instructors: https://photowings.org/foundry-photojournalism-workshop/ The fall of the Berlin Wall led Eskenazi out of Queens into the larger world. After trips to Germany and Romania for their first democratic elections he traveled to Russia in 1991, just before the August coup that marked the end of the USSR, and has returned many times since culminating in a photography book project called Wonderland: A Fairy Tale of the Soviet Monolith, winner of Best Photography Book 2008 by Pictures of the Year International. In 2004 he received a Fulbright Scholarship to return to Russia to make a series of large format color portraits called Title Nation with a Russian colleague which will be published Fall 2010. Jason Eskenazi has received numerous awards including a Guggenheim Fellowship, 1999; The Dorothea Lange/Paul Taylor Prize, 1999, for his work in a Jewish Village in Azerbaijan; and The Alicia Patterson Foundation Grant, 1996. His work has appeared in many magazines including Time, Newsweek and The New York Times and Soros Foundation publications. http://www.jasoneskenazi.com/ PhotoWings' mission is to highlight and help facilitate the power of photography to influence the world. We help photography to be better understood, created, utilized, seen, and saved.

Catchlight Summit 23 Sizzle Reel
Each spring, CatchLight gathers our fellowship community and leading voices in photography, media, art and technology for an immersive day of portfolio reviews, visual exploration, conversation, and community. Join us to be inspired by artists, founders, and innovators; learn from peers and industry leaders; and explore the world through visual works of passion and curiosity. Our theme for this year’s Summit, The Change We Want to See, reflects the unique power of photography, visual journalism, and creative practices to drive social impact. “Images are instrumental to how we understand our world. They connect people emotionally to issues, promote deeper understanding, build trust, and spark action,” says Elodie Mailliet Storm, CEO of CatchLight. “The Summit is a place where a global community of visual storytellers and leaders in media and technology can gather, share ideas, and push the field forward through partnership and innovation.” Returning this year as Summit MC is Zena Barakat, Emmy-nominated producer and executive design director at IDEO.
