Hispanic Development Council: Huellas Urbana Project
LIFT provided access to our digital classroom to a group of twenty newcomer youth for their work on the Huellas Urbana Project. The students learned to use Photoshop CS4 and worked in LIFT’s digital classroom for two weeks creating a photo project. They also received use of LIFT’s HD video cameras and DSLR to support their production needs. These projects were exhibited at the Toronto Free Gallery in 2011 and will be the subject of a book published by the Hispanic Development Council.
Huellas Urbana Youth Project
Empowering Latin American-Canadian and immigrant youth in their process of adaptation into the Canadian reality using self documentation and auto-representation as the methodology for creation. Huellas uses the arts and mediums of communication as tools that create space for dialogue as well as a critical look into society and the community.
These workshops require a high technical level, an aesthetic demand, a profound conceptual and critical view, which in some cases marks the beginning of a professional career in the arts.
Fortalecer a jóvenes inmigrantes Latinoamericanos y Canadiense-Latinoamericanos en su proceso de adaptación a la realidad canadiense, utilizando la auto documentación y autorepresentación como método; y el arte y medios de comunicación como herramientas que abran un espacio para el diálogo así como una mirada critica a la sociedad y la comunidad. Estos talleres poseen un alto nivel técnico, exigencia estética, profundidad crítica y conceptual, que los convierte en muchos casos, en el inicio de una carrera profesional en el arte para los jóvenes participante.
Through inter-agency networks and other community organizations, the HDC actively promotes the strengthening of new Canadian community groups, community self-sustainability.
