As night envelops the brick building, a scene unfolds. Two boys sit on the steps—one in costume clutching a drink, the other in casual wear. Nearby, a man leans against the wall, embodying storytelling and liberation as Andrea Morales captures this moment with her lens.

Storytelling as Liberation: A Conversation with Andrea Morales and Micaela Watts

Join us for a captivating panel discussion that dives into the powerful intersection of storytelling, community, and liberation. Featuring photographer Andrea Morales, whose work is deeply intertwined with the communities she photographs, this conversation will explore how photography can be a force for change.

Andrea’s approach, shaped by “movement journalism,” offers a unique perspective on documenting social and environmental movements with both local significance and national impact.

She’ll be joined by Adrienne Johnson Martin, Ariel J. Cobbert, with Micaela Watts leading the discussion. Together, they’ll unpack how storytelling through photography can not only be a form of bearing witness but also pave the way for collective empowerment and transformation.

Don’t miss this inspiring discussion!
