Documenting Public Housing, By the People Who Call It Home

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jul 22, 2015

Project Lives: New York Public Housing Residents Photograph Their World is a book of photography, taken by the people who live in public housing. The photos capture neighbors, friends, and the everyday lives of people who are not generally portrayed in photography at large. Chelsea Davis, the co-editor of the book, discusses the project with two of the books photographers: Margaret Wells, who lives at the Manhattanville projects in West Harlem, and Znya Mourning, who lives in the Ft. Independence projects in the Bronx.
