Second year MFA Photo Student, Noelle Theard has been working on a participatory photography project this summer with a group of tenants on rent strike in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The focus has been on documenting the conditions to use as evidence in court and also create a human interest story, which is set to run in tomorrow’s NY Daily News.
The community exhibition is on Saturday, I realize you all probably have plans already, but wanted to keep you posted and let you know you are invited!
The NY Daily News covered the project, see here:
