In fall 2014, Kafi Dixon and Carl Chandler enrolled in a rigorous night course in the humanities at a community center in their Boston neighborhood of Dorchester. Kafi dreams of starting a land cooperative in Boston for women of color who have experienced trauma and disenfranchisement.
Carl, a community elder, is the class’s intellectual leader. White suburban filmmaker James Rutenbeck, awakened to the violence, racism and gentrification that threaten their place in the city, is forced to come to terms with his flawed film premise and his own complicity in racist structures. Spending more time listening than filming, James enlists the pair as collaborators. Five years on, despite many obstacles, Kafi and Carl arrive at surprising new places in their lives, and following their lead, James does too.

MOPA’s signature school outreach program, Exposure, ignites student learning with hands-on projects that expose students to photography as an art form and build skills in visual thinking and creative expression.
This year, the Exposure program was in part possible thanks to the generous support of the Capdevilla Gillespie Foundation. Though not completed, our educators were able to reach students toward the end of 2019 and beginning of 2020.
Every student had the opportunity to create personally relevant artwork during the program.

Dee's Tots Daycare, a home-based 24-hour child care center in a New York suburb, is not only a lifeline for families but a vital community hub. Through the intimately observed stories of two working mothers and beloved caregiver Nunu, we see how this daycare patches up the gaping holes in a threadbare social safety net and provides a personal response to an urgent problem. "Through the Night" turns a much-needed spotlight on unsung heroes.

Color can change the mood of your image. A blue filter might make your image seem more sad or gloomy. A bright yellow filter will make your image more cheerful.
This weekend, try out two activities at home: DIY and color filters. Show us your best shots, and we'll get back to you with our thoughts. Think about how you can use color to create your own filter. 🌈

During a time before cameras were in common use, people went to have their silhouettes made. These were done by special artists carefully cutting detailed renderings of the subjects features in profile. Even without the facial details we are used to seeing in photographic portraits, each of these silhouettes was as unique as the person sitting for them. Using your window, a smartphone or tablet, and some tips for proper exposure, we can create beautiful silhouettes that celebrate the simple beauty in our shapes and lines! You will need: *A device to take pictures (Camera, smart phone, or tablet) *A window with good light *A subject to photograph (yourself, another person, an object with an interesting or recognizable shape)
We are individuals with unique experiences and unlimited dreams! Look at your own stories and your own unique identity through the art of photo collage, using snapshots you take or your family takes on their smartphones almost every day. #ThroughMyLens
