PROJECTS

ISYSM is a free 12-week-long film photography project co-facilitated by Bianca and riel Sturchio. ISYSM is designed for folks who are LGBTQIA+, non-binary, and chronically ill, disabled and/or neurodivergent. They believe that photography is an essential tool for story-sharing, community-building, and self-expression.

Arianna participated in the project during the summer of 2022 and produced a series called “Tangled.” The following are a select few photos featured in the project. Two photos from Tangled will be shown alongside other participants’ photos at the Dougherty Arts Center in Austin, Texas, in July 2023. The full series can be seen at https://www.begincollective.com/arianna-alter.
