Step into a powerful exploration of memory, history and legacy through photography. Using a century-old family camera adapted for the digital age, Nic Umbs creates hauntingly beautiful portraits that reveal both what we remember and what time erases. Join the experience, engage in conversation and reflect on how photographs shape our personal histories.

This workshop is first come, first serve and will take place in the 2nd floor lighting studios.
