VISIONS OF HOPE: Moving Images

The exhibition features the work of Teens with a Movie Camera, a Syracuse-based community art project and filmmaking collective. The exhibit encourages visitors to interact with the art through installations that raise the question of whether filmmaking can be an accessible art form. Visitors are able to make shadow puppets, create their own films and small reels to see themselves as filmmakers. Featured works use simple materials including paper shadow puppets and short films shot on cell phones, centering on themes of creativity and hope, emphasizing imagination as a pathway toward meaningful futures.
