Yearbook<br />
As the school year draws to a close, we look back<br />
at PRC youth education and outreach initiatives<br />
The PRC is proud to be one of the few organizations in the region<br />
that offers photo-based youth education and outreach opportunities.<br />
These include the Second Sight Photo Program, which is designed to<br />
encourage students’ creativity and self-expression; prompt active<br />
reflection on issues of identity, representation, and community; and<br />
help students realize their full creative potential through hands-on<br />
photographic activities. The Second Sight Photo Program began as a<br />
collaboration between the PRC and Tech<strong>Boston</strong> Academy, a <strong>Boston</strong><br />
Public Schools pilot high school in Dorchester, MA and was expanded<br />
this year through new collaborations with <strong>Boston</strong> Preparatory Charter<br />
Public School in Hyde Park, MA, and the New England Institute of Art<br />
in Brookline, MA.<br />
The PRC also offers process THIS: Conversations in Photography, an<br />
after school program for area students from diverse backgrounds and<br />
a variety of public and private high schools, who want an opportunity<br />
to study, discuss, and create art, as well as meet masters in the field.<br />
Students meet with and interview internationally-renowned artists<br />
who participate in the PRC’s lecture series. Interviews are audio-recorded<br />
and broadcast on the PRC’s web site. In addition, students<br />
work collaboratively to create art projects that incorporate the visiting<br />
artist’s process.<br />
Here are just a few of the images produced by our talented<br />
students. To view more of their work visit the students’ Flickr pages<br />
at www.flickr.com/photos/tbaphoto and www.flickr.com/photos/<br />
