Through Our Lens: Our World
What was the world like through the eyes of six to eleven year olds during the third national Covid lockdown, in 2021?
From February to April 2021, Carolyn Mendelsohn ran a series of photography and mentoring workshops over Zoom, to enable a group of children from across the Bradford district to tell us their stories through photography. The pictures you see here are a snapshot of their experiences and their incredible work. Over the course of eight weeks, the children were given new challenges and practical photo tasks to do, including 鈥榯ake a photograph of something important to you鈥� and 鈥榯ake a photograph from the ground鈥�.
While Our World gave the participants the opportunity to learn good basic camera skills and a better understanding of photography, it was much more than just a creative activity. Having a new interest during home learning and lockdown was positive for the children鈥檚 wellbeing. All have talked about the new friendships they have made with others of different ages, and all have said how much they enjoyed sharing their photographs with each other. Now, it鈥檚 our turn to enjoy them!
The young Photographers are: Alex Firth, Ashim Hussain, Astrid Bousfield, Eliza Deakin, George Brooks (artist name: Ena), Hiba, Isadora McCann, Ivy Thornton, Nell Baker, Peter Holmes, Quinn Tearne, Verona McEwan-Peters, Charlotte Hellmich, Elliot Butler, Finlay Moulding, Robyn Judson, Stella Seymour.
