In this hands-on workshop, participants will be guided through the process of making their own video self-portrait. Technical tools and strategies will be offered alongside creative prompts for experimentation with ways we might see and share ourselves using image, text, and sound. We will begin to create video mirrors for ourselves that can be returned to again and again for affirmation of who we are.
