“I like to refer to myself more so as an artist that uses a camera more than a photographer.”
-Sasss
I recently chatted amazing photographer and curator Sasss all about how Durham's art and event scenes have evolved.
We had some great discussions around reimagining event spaces and using their curation for good. I loved hearing practical tips on how to design spaces that truly transform the experience for everyone—using accessible materials, making sure people feel comfortable, and really fostering connections within the community.
We also tackled the challenges and opportunities that come with event planning. It was exciting to explore innovative ideas, like using non-traditional venues and even large-scale architectural designs. Plus, we talked about how art can really enrich social interactions and bolster community support. I loved connecting with Sass and highly recommend connecting with her on Instagram and exploring some of her photography. I had the honor of being photographed by Sasss at a recent event and finally feel included in the incredible archive of Durhamites and more that she’s captured. Check out her work below.
