This photo project initially involved youth in the Lighthouse program in Sierra Leone, West Africa and in Grace Community Church of Seal Beach, California Jr High and High-School groups.
The artists were each given a disposable camera, and asked to record images exploring the concepts of brokenness and beauty in their homes, and in the city around them.
Broken-Beautiful Project
The goal of this project is to build connections and create community through sharing of meaningful life images.
In 2008 this photo project expanded to involve youth from interfaith TYA (Transitional Youth Academy) in Oceanside.
The artists utilized both disposable and digital cameras to capture and record images that explore the concepts of brokenness and beauty in their lives.
