Amateur photographers are invited to participate in a four-hour workshop and photo shoot in Coconut Grove on Sunday, January 12 to capture images of the Grove’s Little Bahamas neighborhood for a permanent digital collection maintained by the Library of Congress. The workshop is being organized by Aarti Mehta-Kroll, assistant director of the Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab at Florida International University, as part of the Documenting Goombay and Little Bahamas, a project funded by the Library of Congress American Folklife Center. During the one-day event at the Sanctuary of the Arts, 136 Frow Avenue, photographers Alon Skuy and C.W. Griffin will conduct a photo workshop from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. Participants will then have two hours to photograph Little Bahamas, after which everyone will reconvene for a final hour to share and discuss the day’s photos. The event is free but advance registration is required.
