Welcome
to The House of Tribes’ Young People’s Summer
Program page.
2004 marked the second summer of our annual youth program. Our young group
of people had an educational summer learning crafts that can result in marketable
skills
for
the future.
This summer's main focus was photography,
allowing students to dive deeper into the medium, trying out different techniques
taught by the program’s founder, Kwame Adansi-Bona. In the past, classes
on various topics have been taught, including web
design with NYU
Graduate, Jen Mazer, video production with
producer, Yael Bitton, language and writing
skills with
Smooth and Mambo dancing with
dancer Fernando Gonzales a.k.a Cuban Smooth. This summer we took on a small
group of young people
to continue our program, and we all became like family. Each of the teachers
are professionals in their fields and were able to pass on their expertise
with hands on application and a dialogue with the youngsters that brought
on a casual exchange. The classes lasted for six weeks culminating in a gallery
showing in August of their photographic works and this link to their web
pages. Obviously with all that we taught, there is still so much more to
learn so
that classes will continue on weekends during the fall.
After the success of last summer, We are so happy that we’ve been able
to further the program with such brilliant young minds. The more time we
spent with
the students,
the hungrier
they
became for knowledge. They are like sponges soaking up everything around
them and it’s nice to know that in this environment, what they
were soaking up was some very nutritious food for the mind.
I hope that you will take the time to look at their web pages and galleries.
They worked very hard on them and we are proud. Anyone wishing to find out
more
about
our summer program please call Dominique at 212-477-0735.
*Classes in photography and mambo dancing will also be offered in the
fall for young people and adults.
