Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Youth cultural engagement is essential for sustaining traditions, fostering creativity, and promoting social cohesion. In Misau Local Government Area, Bauchi State, cultural activities such as music, dance, and festivals play a significant role in community life. However, modern influences and digital distractions have contributed to declining youth participation in cultural practices. Photography offers a solution by documenting and celebrating these cultural expressions, making them more accessible and appealing to younger audiences. Globally, photography has been used to connect youth with their heritage, inspire participation, and showcase cultural diversity. In Misau, the strategic use of photography can enhance youth cultural engagement, fostering a sense of pride and belonging. This study explores the influence of photography on youth cultural engagement, focusing on its role in documenting, promoting, and revitalizing cultural practices in Misau.
