Featured Exhibit: "We Have a Story: Homeless in Colorado Springs"
"We Have a Story: Homeless in Colorado Springs," is a documentary project completed in 2019 by people experiencing homelessness. This project seeks to capture the unique experiences of these individuals through photos and stories. The photographers created this exhibit using a method of visual storytelling called Photovoice. They each took pictures over a three-week period in September 2019, meeting at Penrose Library to discuss them as a group with a professional photographer. At the end of the project, they selected two of their images and wrote an accompanying artist story.
The photos and narratives will be shown at both Penrose Library and Library 21c in November 2019, and East Library and Sand Creek Library in December 2019.
