Experience activism and community through the lens of photographers, as they display their work from two free 2018 workshops with acclaimed photographers and award-winning authors Karla and James Murray. In two sessions at the Neighborhood Preservation Center, the famed duo taught participants how to use photography and oral history to raise public awareness, build community, and encourage advocacy. Participants learned to create their own powerful photographs of neighborhood storefronts and connected with proprietors through interviews.

Participating Photographers: Rachel Alban, Carol Anastasio, Ianna Angelo, Steve Baird,  Lauren Barack, Sean Basinski, Daniel Berman, Yanis Carreto, Jane Cytryn, Tobi Elkin, Dee Guerreros, Jessica Hibbard, Sujan Hong, David Horowitz, Yin Kong, Karissa Krenz, Sheng Lin, Armando Moritz-Chapelliquen, Jennifer Parra, Charlie Perez-Tlatenchichi, Elise Reid, Fiona Steele, Maria Budtz Sorensen, Francisca Tayag, Bonnie Tse, Jonathan Turner, Mike Ursone, Francisco Vasquez, & Diana Zuluaga
