This video documents the inaugural project of the YALL ART PROJECT in Mae Sai, Thailand. We worked with 30 students from the DEPDC, a school working to prevent and protect vulnerable children in Northern Thailand from human trafficking. The project begins by teaching these children to become young photographers and express the lens through which they see the world. We then collaborate on two large scale murals based on the photographs they take.

SHE Rescue Home: Phnom Penh, Cambodia

MAY-JUNE 2017

The Yall Art Project was invited to spend 5 weeks with 13 young girls ages 3-16 whose lives had been affected by the sex trafficking industry.  We were asked to help the girls create a mural for their new safe room in their rescue home.  Our process began by giving each girl their own camera and teaching them the basics of photography and ended in a beautiful unfolding of a mural collaboration.
