Photographing from the Senses
with Kim Manley Ort
A Community Practice Group on Kinship Circle
Weekly Invitations are posted every Sunday, January 14th - March 24th, via Kinship Circle
We invite you to join us for a community-wide practice group and collaborative exploration via the Kinship Circle platform. As we begin our 2024 call for engagment Between Bodies, we will explore what it means to photograph from the body, using all of your senses.
Our experiences in the world begin with the senses, the five physical senses, as well as the internal senses of intuition, proprioception, and emotions. It’s through the body that we connect with the world around us. Photography is a visual medium, but it’s very much dependent on sensual experiences. By attuning to what our body is saying and feeling, we can incorporate the full experiences of our bodies into our photographs.
Beginning Sunday, January 14th, Kim Manley Ort will post a weekly invitation and photography prompt on Kinship Circle. You can reply to the prompts within the context of an existing project or you can just practice being in your body, noticing your sensual experience, and seeing what photographs emerge from the weekly prompts. You can join at any time and everyone is encouraged to reply to the invitations and prompts with photographs and reflections within Kinship Circle.
In addition to the weekly prompts, Kim will be offering four Zoom “show and share” events on select Sundays. Show & Share registration links are posted here.
