A warm welcome to Lindsay Morris! Peer into the mind and creative process of the esteemed photographer as she discusses her project The Kids of Camp I Am, a follow-up documentation about Camp I Am, a weekend camp for gender-creative children and their families. This update, featured in The New York Times Magazine, will explore new photos and writing from former attendees of the camp who are now young adults. Sharing excerpts from these essays, Morris invites The Church audience to continue the dialogue about how non-judgmental environments can provide life-changing support and pave a road free of judgment, welcoming of a wide-range of gender expressions. Following the presentation, there will be a meaningful Q&A with the photographer.
This project was a 2025 recipient of the New York State Council for the Arts Artist Grant, as supported through The Church.
A regular contributor to The New York Times, a 2023 TED Speaker, producer of the 2016 BBC documentary My Transgender Summer Camp, and publisher of You are You, a monograph about Camp I Am, Morris offers an invaluable insight to aspiring photographers drawn to advocacy and support.
