Presentation Title: Outside in the City: Photographing Green Playscapes with Young Children

Description: In this presentation, we explore some of the images made by children of outdoor spaces in their communities. As we look through a selection of children’s images, we consider questions like: What do these images suggest about children’s attention to and movement through this space? About their connections to nature? What might we learn from and /or add to the conversations that children seem to be inviting us into through these photographs? How might you bring this into your practice?
