Photography serves as a powerful artistic medium, allowing communities to narrate their stories authentically. Join us in this immersive art and documentary experience, supported by photographer/artist Lucas Gordon. Together with Santa Ana Building Healthy Communities (SABHC) community members, Lucas Gordon invites you to embark on a Visual Expedition. This self-lead expedition is an opportunity to use photography to capture important concepts such as joy, culture, equality, family, justice, and gentrification through your eyes and from your perspective.
