The Other Side of the Curb
In Partnership with Annapolis Police Department and young photographers
Annapolis, MD
Summer/Fall 2021
The Other Side of the Curb is being developed as an opportunity to pair young people with Annapolis policemen and women, using photography and writing to encourage understanding of each participant’s story. Students will interview and make portraits of their partners from the APD, and vice versa.
The 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, highlighting their stories and themes of empathy, understanding, healing and progress in our community.
