Intriguing local photography exhibition opening up next week at the National Building Museum in D.C.:
Investigating Where We Live
August 13 - October 2, 2005
This exhibition will showcase the results of the National Building Museum’s five-week, outreach program Investigating Where We Live (IWWL). IWWL teaches young people to use photography as a tool for exploring and documenting neighborhoods in Washington, D.C. Through this process, they gain an understanding of city planning, architecture, photography, and exhibition design. The neighborhoods explored in this year’s program are Anacostia, Navy Yard, and the New York Avenue corridor. The exhibition — which the participants helped design — will include photographs, plus poems, stories and narratives.
When I mentioned it to Rob, he quipped:
maybe they’ll teach a follow-up session on how to use geotagging to extend said narratives ;)
