[ Upcoming Programs]
The Other Side of the Curb
In partnership with BLACK Excel and the Annapolis Police Department
Annapolis, MD
Summer/Fall 2021
The Other Side of the Curb is being developed as a community response to the desire to build trust and relationships in our city. We're partnering with BLACK Excel leader Deonte Ward (a VW alum: https://www.blackexcelprogram.com/ ) on this program, pairing young people with Annapolis policemen and women as we use photography and writing to encourage understanding of each other’s story. APD officers will participate as fellow students alongside the young photographers.
Our goal is for all participants to learn each others’ stories, and to share them with our community. We will work together with our students to create a public exhibition which will highlight the groups' collaboration.
