Picture the Change > Call for Entries
Since the early 1960s, the visual vocabulary of social
change has been dominated by images of massive, popular
demonstration. More recently though, such public
events have failed to capture the public imagination or
produce visual icons similar to those of the March on
Washington, the March on the Pentagon, the ERA rallies,
or the AIDS quilt. Yet the hard work of social change
continues all around us every day. Instead of mass protest,
we now have organic farms in the heart of the city,
music studios catering to positive hip-hop, laboratories
dedicated to clean energy, socially responsible businesses,
and youth workers reaching out to the dropped out and
disengaged. This project seeks to collect an array of
images from Boston, MA that represent these modern
forms of social change and challenge our understanding
of what constitutes social change itself. To participate
in this group, send an e-mail to avitch@gmail.com. The
project will remain open until September 2008, at which
time a panel will review the collection and select a portfolio
for an online and, funding permitting, a traveling
exhibition.
