The AjA Project runs photography-based educational programs for refugee and at-risk youth in San Diego. AjA ran an after-school workshop at Monroe Clark Middle School as a part of Speak City Heights, an initiative aimed at amplifying the voices of residents in one of San Diego’s most diverse neighborhoods. Youth turned their camera lens outward to examine their neighborhood and how physical features such as canyons, alleys and street lighting shape their perceptions of safety and well-being.
Hear the students discuss their feelings about their surrounding environment below.
