Self-Ethnography: Telling your story through Writing, Collage, and Photography (In-Person)

Students will explore their own cultural identity by selecting one or two cultural topics—such as food, daily rituals, gender expression, or family traditions—and expressing their insights through writing, collage, and photography. Each student will research and reflect on their chosen topic(s), create a visual collage, and curate a small photography exhibit that highlights personal or community experiences. Materials are provided and included in the class pricing.
