(9.26.2020) A Hidden World by Avni Shani

(she/her)

I have always grown up in an open-minded environment. But I haven’t met that many groups within the environment I grew up. This was until one day I used my camera and discovered the streets in a new way that changed my point of view on the world. I started throughout the past few years to walk around the streets of Tel Aviv and Haifa, trying to catch and capture different moments. Through the camera I found myself meeting the world personally, as I now had the reason to meet new people, new cultures and new perspectives. I see the streets as a theater. The view of the street is the stage, and the people are the actors. Everything can happen there, I could never imagine in my mind the reality that is built in the streets around me.
