It is led by New York-based photographer and filmmaker Khalik Allah, who unpacks his singular approach to image-making and his concept of the 'Camera Ministry', treating the camera as both a technological object and a spiritual instrument. Participants explore how a camera can become a means of presence, connection and encounter rather than mere observation, considering the roles of intuition, trust and vulnerability in making an image, and can share their own work in feedback sessions. Guest artists include filmmaker and cinematographer Shevaun Mizrahi, discussing her move from cinematography to directing, and hip-hop photographer and cultural archivist Jamil GS, reflecting on photography as cultural memory.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/camera-ministry-lens-based-encounters-57169/", "official_url": "https://uniondocs.org/event/camera-ministry-lens-based-encounters-2026-11-13/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/2b18874d78accc9d184e71a19964981f9dfe1c9a552483f86af85f7091752fb1-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-13T11:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-15T16:30:00-05:00", "place": "UnionDocs Center for Documentary Art", "address": "Onderdonk Avenue 352, 11385 Ridgewood", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "DPI Presents: Incoming 2026 Exhibition", "start": "2026-11-03T00:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Clive Davis NYU Gallery", "address": "370 Jay Street, Brooklyn", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/photography"], "description": "An exhibition of photography and moving image works by first-year students, on view in the Clive Davis NYU Gallery.
