Players who are striving for change and inclusion, in sport and in society. The Alliance Francaise San Diego is thrilled to present a selection of photographies curated by Diana Nassar, who contributed to this international project. Diana Nassar is a visual media artist who enjoys creating art through various mediums. She took her first course in black and white film photography at Grossmont College in San Diego, California. She found the darkroom printing process to be a unique challenge in trusting ones perspective from the first press of the shutter. Diana later completed a photojournalism program at the internationally recognized photography school, Speos & Polka Institute, in Paris, France. It was there she developed her portfolio and created original photo-series. Diana enjoys traveling and discovering new places, whether a few blocks down her street or abroad, she tries to immerse herself and appreciate what is around us. As part of the 'Sport Friendly’ photo project created by photographer Emilien Buffard, with support from the Alliance Française of San Diego, Diana participated in the series on diversity and LGBTQ inclusion in team sports. This photo project gave her the chance to meet the players of Cheer San Diego Extreme and to visually capture the aesthetics of the cheerleading sport. Through her lens, Diana aimed to take portraits that reflect the players' athleticism, resilience, and pride. For more information visit: afsandiego.org Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
