Course Title:
Interwoven Perspectives: Sustainability, Creativity, and Cultural Practice in Photography
Course Description:
This course, led by Ursula Handleigh, brings together OCAD U and De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde students to explore the dynamic intersections of photography, sustainability, and sociocultural contexts. Participants will engage in studio demonstrations, group discussions, and collaborative projects that examine how photography can address pressing global issues and foster interdisciplinary approaches to creative expression.
Through museum and gallery visits, students will gain inspiration and critical insights into how art connects with the world around us. By the end of this course, participants will develop new perspectives on using photography as a tool for innovation, sustainability, and cultural dialogue.
