LATINO PHOTOVOICES PROJECT CALL FOR ARTISTS
Contact: Susan Myers 412-725-4619 or myers@telerama.com by May 20th.
The Pittsburgh Latino Health Advocacy and Leadership Program (LHAL) is using a technique known in public health as "Photovoices" to capture community themes and strengths using photographic images as a way to assess Latino health in the Greater Pittsburgh area. LHAL will mount an exhibit of these images this Fall ’05 accompanied by four (4) special lectures, one each week of the exhibit to increase awareness and support of public health, medical providers and policy-makers of the Latino culture and its health.
LHAL is offering a mentor stipend of $1,200 to a photographer/artist to work with five (5) teams of 2-3 Latinos or supporters of Latino health. A supplies allotment of $300 is also available for digital printing. The mentor or lead photographer will be responsible for contributing to the exhibit by shooting images as a part of each of the teams and possibly on their own; mentoring the scholar photographers as they choose shots and print images; printing the final images for the exhibit; and participating in the curating team for the exhibit.
Five (5) members of the Latino community will be enrolled in the Filmmaker's short course digital photography on a scholarship from LHAL. Each of the scholars will contribute 2-3 images for possible inclusion in the exhibit.
The mentor/lead photographer will likely spend 3-5 hours a week on average from mid-June through mid-October for this project. Theme teams will supply their own digital or regular film camera. All photographers will have to give consent to LHAL, as represented by Health Equity Associates, LLC to reproduce images in policy papers, articles, web pages, and mount exhibit in spaces other than Pittsburgh Filmmakers after the project’s debut, all with proper attribution to the artist/photographer, original exhibit and funders/partners.
We are also looking for volunteers who are adept at mounting photographs and preparing shows.
There will be a Photovoices informational meeting on Saturday May 14 at Pittsburgh Filmmakers from 10 am - 11 am for all interested parties.
Contact Sue Myers at 412-725-4619 or myers@telerama.com by May 20 to arrange an interview, including portfolio review, with members of the Pittsburgh LHAL group. If you use email, please try to put the word "Photovoices" in the subject heading.
