Project Intro

This year, our group of 11 youth came together and acknowledged the complexities of living in this city. We identified the aspects of the city that signify growth and community while also exploring the harsh realities that youth encouter. Youth talked to us about the many ways they experience belonging as well as apathy. There are layers to our identities, and to understand this is to really get to know a place.

(Layers), our 2024 exhibition invites us to uncover the layers that make us who we are and come together to shape our communities.

Over the course of this program, youth have engaged in a series of workshops to learn about photography and guide the development of their narratives. Ultimately, I-Click photography is a platform to empower storytelling and seeks to garner a more genuine understanding of our community, and all of it’s members.

We invite you to celebrate the creativity and dedication our youth have shown through their projects.

A big thank you goes out to the Saint John Arts Centre, Pathways to education and The Teen Resource Centre (TRC) FOR their continuous support in making this program possible. We are thrilled to once again be thanking the Saint John City Market and Third Shift for their commitment to showcasing creative expression and celebrating our youth.

A special thank you goes to Michael Mohan photography. The whole team appreciates the energy and passion you have for teaching and your ability to transform the camera into a creative tool.

To our facilitation team, we thank you for the smooth ride! It has been a dream working alongside each one of you. This program is amplified by the energy and commitment you all bring. Thank you for the ongoing support and the creative feedback that helps to imrpove the program, year after year.

To our youth, you have all shown courage. Being brave by pushing yourselves to experience new things, to have challenging moments, and to grow. We are so proud of you all and are grateful for being able to learn and grow alongside each of you.
