Through a series of guided workshops, participants will work collaboratively with the photographer to develop creative photography skills while exploring meaningful ways to tell their own stories through images. Each participant will select objects, items, or personal belongings that hold significance in their lives and reflect aspects of their identity, experiences, interests, or heritage. Participants will then work creatively to arrange and photograph these objects in ways that communicate something meaningful about themselves. Alongside the photographic work, each participant will prepare a short written reflection explaining the significance of their chosen objects and the stories behind them.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":41506,"template":"","class_list":["post-41505","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A Piece of Me - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Boyle Family Resource Centre proposes to deliver a creative photography and storytelling project with its local men\u2019s group and local community, in collaboration with professional photographer Brian Farrell.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/a-piece-of-me\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"A Piece of Me - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Boyle Family Resource Centre proposes to deliver a creative photography and storytelling project with its local men\u2019s group and local community, in collaboration with professional photographer Brian Farrell.
