Cultural Event 2 - NOH8 Photo Booth

Back in January I had the chance to participate in Shepherd’s NOH8 Photo Booth put on by Multicultural Student Affairs. It was a great program. It was a simple, but effective program; it spreads the message on our campus, any form of hate will not be tolerated. You can see my best friend Rogelio and I standing against hate and being goofy.

The NOH8 Campaign was started by photographer Adam Bouska and partner Jeff Parshley, as photographic silent protest against California’s Proposition 8. The photos feature subjects with duct tape over their mouths, symbolizing their voices being silenced by Prop 8 and similar legislation around the world. You can learn more about the NOH8 campaign here.

Along with the photo booth, they also had a raffle for NOH8 merchandise. I ended up winning a tote, wristband, and stickers!
