La esperanza de ser yo (2018/2021)

La esperanza de ser yo (The Hope of Being Me) represents two weeklong workshops, in 2018 and 2021, with middle and high school students who used photography, drawing, mental mapping, and storytelling to collaboratively explore and share their family histories, daily lives, and dreams for the future. All activities were designed to support a student centered experience in order to foreground student perspectives so that we could deepen the exchange between student and teacher. The students are part of the Migrant Education Program through the Region 15 Texas Education Service Center, a program that supports school age children and youth of migratory farm workers.
