FREE FILM : NYC - HARLEM OPENING PARTY

FREE FILM : NYC - HARLEM will be launching this November in collaboration with the Brotherhood Sister Sol. FREE FILM : NYC aims to document and catalog our communities and our city in new ways, by democratizing the documentation of our ever-shifting realities.

Photographer and multidisciplinary artist Kevin Claiborne will be our photographer in residence. Starting November 3rd, Kevin will teach a series of workshops and lead photowalks for the local youth around the neighborhood, as well as develop his own practice on the Airstream.

As part of the project, we invite photographers of all levels to participate by shooting photographs within the boundaries of the neighborhood as a response to the prompt “ONE SQUARE MILE.” From November 3rd to December 3rd, the Airstream-darkroom will distribute free rolls of black and white 35mm film to the general public. Participants can drop off their film at the main building of the Brotherhood Sister Sol or at the mailbox on the Airstream-darkroom 24/7 by December 3rd. WORTHLESSSTUDIOS and our darkroom partner Picturehouse + thesmalldarkroom will develop the film and send negatives to participants after the program is over.

The project kicks off on November 3rd, 2023, at the Johnny Hartman Plaza, located on W 143rd Street and Amsterdam Ave, from 12-4 PM at the FREE FILM : NYC - Harlem Opening Party and you are invited!
