Project description
The value of the view of the author of the photograph towards his or her heritage
My landscape is a heritage education project that aims to provoke a change in the students' perspective and an approach to the landscape of the Community of Madrid from the use of photography as an artistic tool.
Through heritage awareness workshops, we work on the construction of new readings on heritage, both material and intangible, and on the landscape as a space where the history of places and the memories of those who have inhabited them are condensed.
The workshops propose to train young people's gaze on the urban landscape, to analyze and interrogate it from different perspectives: the rhythms of the city, the quality of the design of its spaces, the layers of history or the traces of memory, among others.
A program that promotes adolescents' reflection on their daily landscape, focusing attention on their heritage.
Objectives
- Heritage awareness.
- Value of the view of the author of the photograph towards his or her heritage.
- Focus focused on establishing links with the group's heritage.
- Search for reflections and concepts around the cultural landscape.
- Knowledge transmission. Valuing the innovative role of photographic missions carried out throughout history.
- Incorporation of the gender variable.
My Landscape opens new perspectives in the eyes of young people. Your photographs can have value as storytelling tools.
