Exhibition at Taller Puertorriqueno
Photo Diaries: Philadelphia Latinx and Black students exhibit photographs of their COVID stories; send messages of Solitude, Pain, and Hope
Photography Without Borders partners with Taller Puertorriqueno to present images from the Photo Diaries class through the Youth Artist Workshop this June. The Children & Youth Create Art exhibit includes students’ experiences during the COVID-19 quarantine. The powerful images and stories the students share on these walls allow us a glimpse into their lives and how they, their families, and others in Philadelphia are coping with this historic pandemic.
