Learning Journal – Photoville -Networking Event

Back on Sunday September 15th, I went to Photoville which was by Brooklyn Bridge Park in Downtown Brooklyn. The whole setup of the event was interesting and was not what I expected. Aside from a typical photo gallery showing indoors, they displayed the photos in shipping containers and were outside in a lot. I thought that was innovative and drew me into the event more. There were a variety of other people there raging from tourists to other students like me. I saw that some students were representing Parsons or SVA etc which I thought was pretty cool. The photos that were on display were taken by a wide variety of photographers with a wide variety of subjects like women, people of color etc. There were photos displayed of different issues as well from environmental issues, to race, sexism etc. They also had different workshops and discussion panels as well; Unfortunately the time and day I went there were none at the time.
