How Do We Focus Our Gaze? Connecting Photography & Social Impact
Featuring: Nancy Farese (Moderator), Sarah Blesener, Brian L. Frank, and Tomas Van Houtryve Presented by Catchlight We are at a unique moment, and it’s never been more important to use visual stories to help us make sense of a complex world. Modern day storytellers are culturally diverse and uniquely talented, pushing our understanding of the medium to reach new audiences, address chronic issues, and help us see and understand each other through a more nuanced lens. In 2017, CatchLight launched its fellowship program, honoring three storytellers who demonstrated excellence in the use of photography as a catalyst to spark new conversations. Sarah Blesener’s project, “Beckon Us From Home,” examines the interplay of religion, love of country, and military-style training in the teaching of “New Americanism” among youth. Brian L. Frank’s latest work, “Out of Bounds,” looks at targeted policing and criminalization of youth in minority communities and asks what kind of a society we have built, where a prison camp becomes a boy’s only experience of summer camp. Tomas Van Houtryve’s project, “Lines and Lineage,” questions the role that photographs—both present and missing—have played in shaping the identity of the West. In addition to an award of $30,000, each fellow entered a partnership with an established media outlet and worked with CatchLight to mobilize resources and activate community around their year-long projects, focused on driving measurable social change. Hear from CatchLight’s founder and fellows about our unique focus on solving the giant mismatch between artists and their potential for social impact by surrounding longform storytelling with resources, networks and leadership to bring to life and amplify the reach of their stories. This public presentation will focus on the experiences of CatchLight’s inaugural fellows, and an open discussion of our approach to promoting social change through the arts. Produced by United Photo Industries at Photoville 2018 Presented in partnership with PhotoWings with additional support by The Philip and Edith Leonian Foundation and Two Trees Management

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.

Community Heroes Toolkit Launch and Info Session
COMMUNITY HEROES TOOLKIT LAUNCH AND INFO SESSION Featuring Jasmin Chang and Zac Martin Photoville Festival 2022 online talks are made possible in partnership with PhotoWings If you are an artist who cares about your neighborhood; a person or group dedicated to local stories and history; a public space that wants to build community…then the Community Heroes toolkit is for you! This new and free resource helps you to organize a public art project in your community. It is an opportunity to work with your neighbors to recognize and celebrate incredible people who have strengthened and supported your community. Come learn about it from the project co-founders and writers of the toolkit! This Community Heroes project began as a collaboration in Fort Greene, Brooklyn in 2016. Since then, it has become an annual neighborhood staple in Fort Greene Park and Commodore Barry Park. The project has also been done in Bed Stuy, Crown Heights, Red Hook and University Heights in the Bronx. In response to many others asking to bring Community Heroes to their neighborhoods, we created a free project toolkit, so more people can create this project themselves! communityheroes.nyc/toolkit photoville.nyc/event/community-heroes-toolkit-launch/
