Participants of the class highlighted their personal stories as they relate to their environments and learned to use photography as a form of storytelling and preserving history. The workshop started at the South Dallas Cultural Center and ended with a sun-filled photo-walk through Fair Park.

This class was part of SDCC’s New Years, New Skills creative workshop series.

The Beauty of South Dallas was a pilot project created by multimedia artist Nitashia Johnson during the inaugural Juanita J. Craft Artist Residency. The project documents the neighborhood of South Dallas and several of its residence, business owners, and community leaders. South Dallas is a community rich with culture and history, but it is quickly changing. The goal of this project was to preserve a period in time that tells us where the neighborhood is before it changes. Over a three month period, September to December 2020, Nitashia has endeavored to connect with the people of the community and use her talents as a multimedia artist/designer to capture the landscape and present it in this website The Beauty of South Dallas

Art&Seek shares a recent article about multimedia artist, Nitashia Johnson, and how she’s honoring the South Dallas Community through her camera lens.
