SACRED EYE / SACRED VALLEY WORKSHOP 2019
The second in a series of thought-provoking photographic sessions, The Sacred Eye, created by Donna Ferrato and Tomeu Coll, will push photographers to think before they shoot.
The mission of this workshop is to shine a light on the great strength of Peruvian women. Photographers will explore the challenges women encounter in a male dominated society. Our daily prayer is to respect every woman’s unique voice as they speak their truth in the face of hardships of gender violence, sex assault, sexism and ageism.
Each day the group will travel to new places, meeting and listening to the locals while focusing on the complex environmental and personal aspects of these women’s lives. This is a chance for earnest photographers who want to make a difference and are open minded. Tomeu and Donna accompany photography students to help develop their practice. The class has mandatory daily critiques, to help them improve. Some photographers keep returning to these workshops because our mentorship doesn’t stop when the workshop ends. We encourage photographers to work outside their comfort zones. As a photographer from the LA workshop said:
The Sacred Eye is now accepting applications to spend ten awareness-building days learning how to use your cameras to break down the wall of patriarchy and to find women who want to tell their stories their way.
