This course is an opportunity to learn the importance of collective photography projects focusing on contemporary photography from Asia. Classwork will include exploration and critique of imagery, guest speaker presentations, and discussions. Each student will be required to submit a midterm assignment of 300 to 500 words, research and participate in a collaborative photographic project as a volunteer contributing 16 hours, and present it at the end of term during a class discussion. The student volunteer work could be any contribution as long as they complete 16 hours over four weeks, and the timing of their work can be between April and May 2023 at the latest.
