The Louisville Urban League Polaroid Project
The Louisville Urban League's Polaroid Project in partnership with Seek Common Ground, distributed free cameras to kids, grades K-12, for a six-week project. The program invites special guests to join weekly virtual sessions to process different aspects of the project—photography, photojournalism, art, expression, social justice, activism - with an emphasis on mental health as well.
Program Coordinator, Chris Fletcher says, "You know Louisville being one of the center stages of this movement and what is going on with social justice, we felt that it was our responsibility to do something like that and involve the youth like that,"
ResultThe program has reached over 150 kids and counting and has received requests from art galleries interested in the children's work. The students will present their work in collaboration with Kentucky Performing Arts.
