Below are selected photographs from the talented students at Animo Ralph Bunche. This is Living Histories' second year at Animo Bunche and look how their work has progressed! Quite impressive, isn't it? The selected photos are from various assignments, ranging from self-portraits (both fantasy-based and reality-based) to images of their community derived from their own unique perspectives and interests.
