About CPB PRISM
The education wing of the Chennai Photo Biennale (CPB) Foundation, CPB Prism aims to foster a community that inspires curiosity and self-expression. Rooted in the promotion of media and visual arts, their work is driven towards making voices heard, storytelling, building awareness and community, and delivering change.
This year, with the support of Goethe-Institut Chennai, their work centers around the topic of masculinity. The first workshop based on the theme was held at Manal Magudi Theatre Land, Kovilpatti with the objective of exploring masculinity and gender roles with children of ages 11-15. Find a blog and a short video about the workshop here.
They now continue to further our research and develop an Educator’s Guide to help educators address key ideas, stereotypes, and the many connotations of the word ‘masculinity’ with children of ages 10+ through visual art. Detailing a 12-week program, the curriculum is designed to embolden children to ask more questions about what it means to be ‘real man’, empowering them to challenge patriarchal ideals with confidence and nudging them in the direction of healthier relationships.
