As the students were turning the lens to their own community consisting of neighborhoods in Queens, Long Island, and Rockland County, the class was disrupted by COVID-19. It was as though the external circumstances forced us, individually and collectively, to redefine our definition of a community and our roles within it.
Participating artists: Maria Brownsell, Ana Castro, Taylor Foerster, Yinshi Huang, Ivana Ng, Beata Szyszkowska, Tom Travers, Emily (Xiaolei) Wang.
Starting with Flushing, Queens as a model, the students explored its rich history beginning with the Flushing Remonstrance, a protest document for religious freedom, the connection to the Underground Railroad, and its current status as one of the most diverse neighborhoods in America.
