8:17 Nichole Sobecki Presentation: Foundry 2022 U.S.-born, Nairobi-based photographer Nichole Sobecki talks about insider vs. outsider photojournalism, the importance of highlighting overlooked stories, and how she strives to be contentious and collaborative in her work. Nichole Sobecki is a photographer and filmmaker based in Nairobi, Kenya. She is represented internationally by the photo agency VII. She began her career in Turkey, Lebanon, and Syria, focusing on regional issues related to identity, conflict, and human rights. From 2012-2015 Nichole led Agence France-Presse’s East Africa video bureau before immersing herself in documentary photography. She is also a contributor to Everyday Africa, a collection of images shot on mobile phones across the continent, and an attempt to showcase the moments missing from dramatic news images — everyday life that is neither idealized nor debased. Her work has also been recognized by Pictures of the Year, the One World Media Awards, the Alexandra Boulat Award for Photojournalism, The Magenta Foundation, and The Jacob Burns Film Center, among others. Nichole’s photography has been exhibited at The United Nations Headquarters and Photoville in New York City, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and the U.S. Institute of Peace in Washington, DC, Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco, the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris, The Nikola Rukaj Gallery in Toronto, and beyond. 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. During the pandemic, PhotoWings will partner with the VII Academy to offer an online version of the Workshop. Photoville 58:15 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/ Photoville 41:25 Photoville 2024 Big Screen V2 Photoville 6:08 James Estrin INTV Photoville24 Photoville 1:00 Photoville 2024 Day 1 Recap Photoville 8:23 Photoville Education Field Trip: High School of Art and Design's "The Real and Surreal" Photoville 4:16 Photoville Education Field Trip: Syed Yaqueen "American Muslim Experience" Photoville 12:51 Photoville Education Field Trip: Rosem Morton's "Guardians of Thitu" Photoville
