The Mobile Pinhole Project

The Mobile Pinhole Project The Mobile Pinhole Project engages LA youth in hands-on, day-long photography workshops using the VanCam, a van retrofitted into a giant pinhole camera.

We are committed to providing access to visual expression as a fundamental building block for the development of individual identity, communication, and critical thinking. Through innovative mobile programming, youth of all backgrounds and levels of experience are able to benefit from experiential arts learning in neighborhoods across Los Angeles. In workshops guided by professional local artists,

young people go inside the camera and experience photography at its most basic components: light and paper. Prompted by guiding questions, youth work together to create a large format photograph that represents their collective insight into identity, culture, and place. By bringing the VanCam to local neighborhoods, demonstrating photography at a human scale, and guiding youth to visually explore their communities, the Mobile Pinhole Project makes artistic expression geographically, technologically, and conceptually accessible.

Hi to everyone who likes our page! (We like you too.)

As we count down the last 48 hours of our Indiegogo campaign, help us reach our goal and raise just $1,000 more to maintain our VanCam and engage awesomely inspiring youth in 20 MORE neighborhoods in L.A.

Donate any amount (every little bit helps!) or spread the word and tell a friend who might be interested in the project.

Together, we can empower a new generation of youth to tell their stories and fulfill their potential as the creative leaders of tomorrow!
