Kids With Cameras founder Diana Kahrim recently invited HFH Partnerships Manager Tierra Gunther to attend her photography exhibit at the Consulate General for the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The exhibit featured a beautiful collection of photographs of women from Trinidad and Tobago, created during Diana’s journey to reconnect with and honor her Indo-Trinidadian heritage. More than two years in the making, the project was also created as a tribute to her late grandmother.
The evening brought together family, colleagues, partners, and members of the Consulate General to celebrate Indo-Caribbean Heritage Month and participate in a panel discussion focused on preserving Caribbean and Indo-Trinidadian culture.
Diana’s work and passion for storytelling through photography are also reflected in her organization, Kids With Cameras, an NYC-based visual arts school that has partnered with HFH since 2022. Through this partnership, kids in Afterschool at HFH family residences are introduced to photography and creative expression.
Students learn photography techniques, explore technology and visual storytelling, and develop confidence through creative exploration. At the end of each program cycle, they showcase their favorite photographs and portfolios in a final exhibit for their families.
Programs like Kids With Cameras give the kids at HFH the opportunity to build new skills, discover creative outlets, and connect with mentors working in the arts. We are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate Diana’s work and for the ongoing partnership with Kids With Cameras.
