Towards a Promised Land
Guide to Wendy Ewald's exhibition of large-scale banner photopgraphs of children from Margate, hung around the town.
American Alphabets
In this book, conceptual photographer Wendy Ewald researches the ability of language to create barriers or alliances between groups according to gender, age, and race. In collaboration with different groups of children she created four alphabets: a Spanish alphabet with English-as-Second-Language students in North Carolina, an African-American alphabet with students at an elementary school in Cleveland, a White Girls alphabet at a boarding school in Massachusetts, and an Arabic alphabet with students at a middle school in Queens, New York. The children collaborated with Ewald to create photographs of objects they chose to represent each letter of their alphabets, objects they picked with a particular eye to the cultural nature of the alphabet they were defining. The result is a dynamic, colorful, idiosyncratic, and overwhelmingly cross-cultural lexicography.
Portraits and Dreams
Photographs chosen from those taken by children aged between 6 with 14 in the Appalachian Region of southeastern Kentucky, and the words from conversations with 8 children aged between 11 and 13.
The Best Part of Me
An award-winning photographer captures children's thoughts about their bodies in striking b&w photos and disarmingly honest words.
Magic Eyes
Nonfiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Photography. MAGIC EYES is a collaboration that grew out of Wendy Ewald's experiences in the village of Raquira in the Colombian Andes between 1982 and 1984. The book combines photographs taken by Ewald and her students with stories told by two local women, Maria Vasquez and her daughter, Alicia. Together, Ewald's students and the Vasquezes present the images and experiences of what Barbara Majuica has called "the rich Andean folk culture, in which magic and nature are inseparable components of equal value." The magic eyes belong to Alicia, who recounts her story of the evil eye, which she associates with the camera lens. Alicia and her mother powerfully convey the difficult life in the squatter settlements outside of Bogata. Great poverty and violence are seen through eyes taught from early in life to notice the magical; the results are deeply poetical. The New York Times has called MAGIC EYES "moving, intimate, and unsparing."

I Wanna Take Me a Picture
Acclaimed photographer Wendy Ewald has worked with children around the world, using photography to enable them to express what they think and feel. I Wanna Take Me a Picture is an accessible and practical guide to getting children involved in photography. It uses basic assignments--self-portraiture, family portraiture, community, and dreams--to teach everything from framing and point of view to how to set up a darkroom and develop film.
What We Made
In What We Made, Tom Finkelpearl examines the activist, participatory, coauthored aesthetic experiences being created in contemporary art. He suggests social cooperation as a meaningful way to think about this work and provides a framework for understanding its emergence and acceptance. In a series of fifteen conversations, artists comment on their experiences working cooperatively, joined at times by colleagues from related fields, including social policy, architecture, art history, urban planning, and new media. Issues discussed include the experiences of working in public and of working with museums and libraries, opportunities for social change, the lines between education and art, spiri...
