Show and Tell Alaska

Show and Tell Alaska SHOW AND TELL ALASKA is a mentorship program created in response to inequity in visual storytelling. Show & Tell Alaska has developed in response to inequity.

Both minorities in our fields, we want to encourage more people like us to be the story-tellers in their communities.

​

Show & Tell Alaska is a 1-year virtual mentorship program that will result in the completion of one medium-form project or a first chapter in a longer-form project. In addition to weekly check-ins, we will provide assignments and prompts and will convene virtually for 8 full S

aturdays throughout the year for lectures and critiques. We hope to create a community of story-tellers that can be community for one another for the years ahead.

​

This is not a Photography 101 course. We are looking for photographers who already are making images and videos and want to learn how to make their work stronger and reach farther.

​

In addition to lectures on the history of visual story-telling, critiques, and workshops, we will be working to help make meaningful connections in the industry to help bridge the gap between storytellers and institutions. We will additionally help lead participants through the basics of grant-writing to help them find additional resources continue their work following the mentorship program. We believe that the myth of the explorer as expert is a dangerous one. It's time to change the narrative.

​

As a result, we are making this program free to participants.

We (Ash Adams and Brian Adams ) are so overwhelmed with the amount of talented people who applied to this year’s Show and Tell program. We will be reaching out to and then announcing the six participants selected next week, but to anyone who is not accepted this year: please stay connected. This is hopefully just one year of many, and when it comes to creating more equitable systems and documenting more accurate histories, it takes all of us. We are hoping we, as a community, can come up with ways that we can share work, look at work, and grow together outside of this program. And again, we hope that this is just the first year.

But mostly, we just want to say thank you to everyone who applied and thanks again to the Anchorage Museum for making this program possible.
