"I am A Photographer"

At the World Savvy Global Youth Media and Arts Jam Session, POP students broke into various workshop groups with talented teaching artists exploring different genres within performance art and then gave the audience a show. Jasmine, a 7th grade POP student from Mexico living in the Bronx acted out with the rest of her group how she identifies herself. Jumping up on the stage, Jasmine flashed, clicked, positioned photo after photo as her peers charaded their individualism. At the end, each student shouted one character phrase and Jasmine's proudly snapped, "I am a photographer!"
