Workshops for "Capturing Change," the video project by Community to Community (C2C) for young women of color in Bellingham. Soleworks conducted instruction for 4 workshops, guiding these young women to produce their own video documentary of their choice. They decided to do a video about peer pressure, with interesting results...(video coming soon). They presented their video at the annual Cesar Chavez Dinner on March 30th. Our hope is to have them teach the video workshops to other young women in the future.
