Delilah Peach is a NJ/NY-based photographer, digital creator, and multimedia storyteller with over 20 years of experience capturing both everyday and extraordinary moments. Raised in Manhattan’s Lower East Side by artisan parents, her work is deeply rooted in visual history, storytelling, and personal archives.

Her practice lives at the intersection of memory, media, and empowerment—supporting individuals and communities, especially youth and underfunded groups, in taking ownership of their narratives and preserving their histories with care and intention.

This event is open to anyone curious about storytelling, photography, memory, and preservation—no prior experience needed.

In a time when so much is quickly captured but rarely kept with intention, this workshop is a return to care—an invitation to slow down and honor the stories that make you who you are.

Preserving our memories is also a way of preserving ourselves—and ensuring that those who come after us can know where they come from.

💫 Come explore.

💫 Come remember.

💫 Come begin preserving your story.
