The opening reception, April 14 from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, included a free meal and docent-led tours.
Photography and Social Justice was developed as an educational initiative by The Stewpot’s Junior and Venturing Crews and The Museum of Street Culture. The teen's photographs, installed in the windows above The Stewpot parking garage, were created through the collaborative efforts of teens in the Junior and Venturing Crews, who were asked to discuss and reflect on issues and stereotypes of homelessness, ideas of home, and how photography can play a role in social justice. Tiny's Family Life, 2003-2005 and Photography and Social Justice was on view on the street and inside The Stewpot. |
