FOUNDED BY: BRIAN L. FRANK, SARAH BLESENER AND JENNY JACKLIN STRATTON
We are a community of photographers, artists, journalists, educators and friends focusing on long form visual storytelling, with an emphasis on building shared learning structures and connections. Since our first workshop in 2020 our community continues to grow.
Our core focus is offering year-long mentorship programs to visual journalists working on long-form projects. Alongside our mentorship model, we offer focused workshops and panels on themes ranging from parenthood while freelancing to mental health. Tacet Eye is also committed to providing educational material to the journalism community, beginning with our first book launch of “Enter/Exit” in 2024.
We believe in a nothing off-limits, transparent approach is the only way to move visual storytelling forward ethically. We seek to shatter the opaque, dated hierarchies of media which often limit and isolate visual creatives.
Our approach to community and skill building combines non-traditional resources; drawing from music, poetry, literature, film, trauma-informed care and critical theory to help inform how we craft visual narratives.
