I loved the theory I learnt in this workshop, and it helped have me a different perspective and view on how to take photos.The assignments helped me learn many new things and were very interesting. I also interacted with many people, and made many new friends. Overall, I had a delightful experience and I had a lot of fun! -

"I had great fun and enjoyed the workshop thoroughly. I learned a lot of tips on how to take photos. Even my parents are able to see a difference in my photos. My mother also shares them with my grandparents, and they also appreciate it. Just because of this class, I have seen an improvement"

“This was a refreshing experience in the lockdown. There were multiple perspectives on how a photo becomes art, and all of these were explained by the workshop instructors really well. Looking at contemporary and past examples also allowed a wider field of perception as well as a greater understanding of the form. Thank you for this!”

When I see the photographs exhibited here, I appreciate how beautiful the title 'A Land of Stories' is, every society is able to pass on their [heritage] to next generation through stories.Today photography has become a beautiful medium for storytelling, and in these times has become a revered art form.The Photo Biennale is slowly and surely turning out to be a very important event

"NalandaWay Art Labs have been set-up in Government schools to provide children the opportunity to learn and experience visual and performing arts. We sincerely thank the organizers of the Chennai Photo Biennale for organizing photography workshops in our Art Labs for children. It gave them an opportunity to learn the techniques of photography from experts and express their perceptions through the medium."

"With constantly updating media, culture, cellphones and laptops. It’s very easy for kids to fall into the trap of the digital world. Using the same technology, this four day workshop on exploring gender and photography has been a successful starting point to improve their artistic knowledge."

"As we rapidly advance into the digital era, there is a need for children to be successful citizens beyond school. Therefore educating and engaging children in any form of Art leads to creating possibilities for them to be successful. The photo biennale is an excellent event to support as it provides a platform for children to experience, think creatively & learn the basics in the art of photography while enjoying the fun of taking photographs. For those children who get an opportunity to participate the biennale will become moments to remember and share."

On behalf of RTS program, I would like to thank CPB prism team for conducting the basis level session on photography. The session was really useful, and the team received it very well.  Special thanks to Ms. Habiba who made the session very interactive and clarified all the queries of the participants. 

“The Gender Sensitivity workshop - Exploring Masculinity through story telling and photography was conducted by the CPB Team for Grade 12 students of our Ramana Vidyalaya. The workshop was an interesting addition to students' curriculum this year. Through the multiple sessions and activities, students explored the existing norms and definitions of what masculinity and femininity are and what they think/feel masculinity and femininity can be, for each of them. It was an excellent and fresh start for students to become aware and understanding how they can break the norms and bias that exist towards various genders in today's society. We are very glad that our students got the opportunity to work with the CPB Team through this workshop. We hope that the learnings of the students shall be long-lasting and impactful as they grow older. Thank you for the opportunity”

The installation of the photographic images and impressions of Tamil Nadu by young photographers is outstanding. We are all after our stay here taking these pictures in our heart.

It was really nice to then see the children draw short comics and stories about different creatures. While many of them chronicled stories about animals that they see around them and have as pets like cats and dogs, it was also really heartwarming to see them think about insects, birds and smaller beings. They found inspiration from the CPB book, Peer Ponder Play, and many of them copied the illustrations that they liked and found attractive. Participants were also excited to learn about the photos of Senthil Kumaran Rajendran who has been documenting the relationship between elephants and their Mahout caretakers. Thank you Sakshi and Arushi for leading this fun and engaging workshop!
