Join us in the Mayor’s Neighborhood Gallery in Boston City Hall to celebrate Rewriting Our City: Unsettled Accounts, an exhibition of portraits by teens in Photography Collective. During the fall of 2023, these young people partnered with Northeastern University through the Unsettled Accounts Project, exploring the impact of urban renewal and planning on Black homeownership in Boston. Photography Collective explored the ideas of home and displacement, browsing archival materials that contextualized these concepts for people of color living in Boston. The teens met with storytellers from the Unsettled Accounts Project and created portraits of them, using photography to capture their stories and preserve their histories.
The reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshements will be provided.
The exhibition will be on view through Sep 5, 2024.
