Schools, Street Photography and Workshops Programmes:
Workshops over the years have been run by various coordinators, all of them also photographers of note, in an ongoing endeavor to outreach photographic education and visual literacy to communities and schools. Some programmes over the years:
A schools Pinhole project organized by Jenny Ulster, of the WCED Subject Advisory Service and given by Jean Brundrit and Svea Josephy, both then from the Fine Art Department, University of Stellenbosch. This was part of a larger pinhole photography education project called f-nonstop that was run by the South African Centre for Photography, at UCT during 1998 and 1999.
A street photography pilot programme was run by Tracey Derrick, long time workshop community coordinator between 1998-2000, with two people from Khayelitsha. Xolile Xego who was a practicing street photographer and Lindeka Melaphi who had never used a camera before. This evolved, with the help of Kodak Charitable Trust, into a programme that ran for two years with other Townships photographers who earn a living by walking around taking portraits of people, photographing occasions like weddings, school functions and social evenings.
Between 1998 and 1999 Jenny Altschuler's Silverdream Workshops Programme was run at the then home of the South African Centre for Photography at the Hiddingh Hall Campus of UCT. This programme offered dedicated workshops in many genres of photography from Photojournalism (for example by specialist Sasa Kralj, visiting photojournalist from Croatia) to Portrait workshops (for example by Sue Hillyard, well known lecturer in photography) and Jenny Altschuler (long time community arts and photography lecturer and workshop coordinator). Night courses in beginners to intermediate level photography were also run through the Silverdream Workshops programme. Some of the bodies of work produced by students of the long term night courses were showcased in the 1999 Month of Photography Festival and in the Festival catalogue.
