DPI Future Imagemakers: The Power of Photographic Storytelling

Storytelling, identity, prejudice, family, friends, community, intersectionality, activism, and finding freedom through creativity are some of the topics addressed in the photographic projects by some of the high school student in the 2020 NYU Tisch Future Imagemakers. They discuss their work, and how photo-based image-making has empowered them to speak up for social justice.

Photoville’s Teen Ambassador Lea Ibragimov Interviews the Future Imagemakers.

We at Future Imagemakers are passionate about image-making, self-expression, and social justice. We believe in the power of photography to celebrate diversity and intersectionality, and to address racism, gender discrimation and all forms of intolerance. We seek to expand boundaries and learn from each other.
