Monday, April 12, 2010. Photo presentation for kindergarten class. I've started a photography program at my son's school the goal of which is to try and teach kids to photograph the very unique nature of their own lives. I hope the process will be an affirming one that allows each kid to see their own lives in a way that inherently embodies an aesthetic reality. Below is the slideshow that i prepared as an introduction to the project. Posted by zev tiefenbach. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Montreal...

Volunteer parents at the school will...A dad...

Wednesday, April 21, 2010. Fear Driving Jewish Sentiment to the Right. Yoav Shamir's film "Defamation" takes aim at the New-York based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and their on-going efforts to confront anti-Semitism in the world. The specific target of Shamir's irony is one Abe Foxman, director of the ADL. As we see Foxman cavorting with world leaders, we understand him to be playing a delicate confidence game, where his power to anoint anti-Semites leads to various international concessions to Isra...

Monday, June 20, 2011. NDP Convention: Party Activists vs. Community Militants. In French the word for "activist" is "militant". And time and time again here at the NDP convention the words are used interchangeably, particularly by the plethora of anglophones who has taken suddenly to making addresses riddled with French phrases. But, a clear distinction of the words is required. At my table a delegate from Humbold Saskatchewan is the self-appointed whip. She urges me to stand cheering Jack on. T...On th...

Tuesday, June 22, 2010. For the last several months I have been working at Charles Dickens Elementary School with students from kindergarten to grade two. We have just mounted a very exciting display of their photographic work. Significantly, many of the most compelling works were derived from students who have limited English communication proficiency. For these kids, the photography was an excellent opportunity to tell us about the world they live in and what they care about. At the end of the week, th...
