El Otro Lado
Being the light in a child's life is what Project Luz wants - Luz even means light! Project Luz empowers underprivileged kids through art, encouraging creativity, a healthy self esteem, honesty and respect for others. This evening, El Otro Lado: A Portrait from the Other Side, depicts the results from this group's second endeavor: sending 8 US and UK photojournalists to Ejido Hermosillo, Mexico to provide children with a 10 day workshop in photography/journalism basics. Nine kids, ranging from ages 9-14, learned the ins and outs of photojournalism and gave this city a voice, one that'll be shown in a documentary portrait also created during this time. Adding the soundtrack is Jeremy Sole's Musaics, dropping dub mixed with Brazilian/Latin funk while Lulacruz fuses South American flavor with a female's voice and Manicato brings the salsa, cumbia, reggae and rock music. Date: Saturday 12/7 Time: 7pm until late Location: Space Gallery,1141 Polk ST Cover: $10 suggested donation linkMore Info (CQ)
