I AM : INDIA

Sasha Sicurella, the Education Director at Omi International Arts Center, a non-profit organization in New York State, conducted a three day workshop titled "I Am: India" at our Prateeksha Nagar BMC school.

I AM is a project aimed to give underprivileged and/or children living in densely populated regions, hands-on opportunities to explore the notion of individuality through art. Based on the idea of the self-portrait, children were encouraged to create expressive artworks using a variety of media over a three day period. Similar projects have been conducted in New York and Paris.

Sasha is in Mumbai, to work with several Mumbai based NGOs that cater to children from underprivileged backgrounds. The workshop at the CHIP school, was the first in a series of four workshops being conducted around the city.

During the workshop each child created a series of portraits using a high-resolution still camera, tripod, and remote-controlled shutter release. Two additional art activities were also conducted during the session: a photo transfer and coloring project using a self-image, and a self-portrait drawing project. The idea was for each child to gain an understanding of his/her value, potential, and beauty as an individual.

Upcoming Events: I am: India - Art Exhibition at Hacienda Gallery, 29th March 2010. Watch this space to learn more!!
