Alien Photography Workshop by Jeilin Espinel
How do we see ourselves in a city shaped by movement, migration, and layered histories?
In this hands-on workshop, participants will reflect on their sense of place and identity through the lens of photography. Led by artist Jeilin Espinel, Alien Photography Workshop invites a visual response to the complexities of living in a multicultural city—where personal stories are often inherited, fragmented, or reimagined.

$25 | Bring your camera or phone
Open to all. No prior photography experience necessary. Especially resonant for those who have ever felt out of place, in transition, or in the midst of self-redefinition.
About the workshop:
At the start of the session, Jeilin will offer an introduction and invite participants to write a personal reflection using guiding prompts, setting the tone for the visual exploration to come.
Rather than emphasizing technique, the workshop encourages close attention—looking as a way to question, remember, and notice what often goes unseen. Participants take a short walk through Little Haiti, alone or in groups, capturing 3 to 5 images that resonate with their reflections.
Midway through, we’ll pause for a break at our neighborhood Argentine empanada spot, Sur, to continue the conversation and connect (lunch not included in workshop fee).
After returning from the walk, participants will choose one image that best reflects their exploration. With guidance, they’ll turn it into a printed poster, optionally paired with a short phrase or excerpt from their reflections.
