Wheat Paste Photo Series

Wheat Paste Photo Series


You are here

The series features six local Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) who have photographed their time during the pandemic, as well as commented on the racial injustices our BIPOC community has experienced. The photographs were printed on large sheets of paper and then applied with wheat paste to this brick wall located on Glen Street intersecting with Broadway in East Somerville. This project has been sponsored by the City of Somerville and the Somerville Arts Council. A special thank you to East Main Streets for their support.
