Description
The Ocean From My Eye explores youth perspectives of climate change through the lens of pinhole photography and participatory video. Students from the Attagoyuk High School in Pangnirtung, Nunavut participated in a week long workshop about oceans, climate change, and photography. Building cameras from recycled materials, students took to the shoreline to create photographs, guided by the question: why are imaq (sea water) and siku (sea ice) important to youth? By engaging in creative, hands-on processes, students can share knowledge and find solutions for complex issues like climate change.
