PARTICPATE ︎︎︎
We believe that every resident of Baltimore has a unique perspective to share, and we invite you to participate in the Picturing Baltimore project. This is an exciting opportunity to showcase your photographic vision, contribute to a community-driven art project, and be a part of the vibrant cultural tapestry of our city. Participation is free and accessible to all.Here's how you can get involved:
Obtaining Disposable Cameras: We have partnered with NomuNomu and Black Artist Research Space, two community-oriented venues, to distribute disposable cameras. Visit either location during their operating hours to pick up a camera. We will provide you with everything you need to get started. Please note that cameras are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend visiting as early as possible to secure your camera.
Guidelines for Capturing Photographs: Once you have your disposable camera, take some time to explore Baltimore and capture the moments that resonate with you. There are no specific themes or restrictions for the photographs. We encourage you to document the beauty, diversity, and everyday life of our city. Let your unique perspective shine through your lens.
Returning the Cameras: After a month of capturing photographs, we kindly ask you to return the disposable camera to the same location where you picked it up. Simply drop it off in the designated drop box at NomuNomu or Black Artist Research Space. This will allow us to process and scan the film, ensuring that your photographs can be included in the final exhibition.
Exhibition and Recognition: Your photographs have the opportunity to be showcased in our community art show and flat-files exhibition, held at NomuNomu and Black Artist Research Space. We value your ownership of your work, and you will retain copyright over your photographs. We will provide you with digital copies of your images and celebrate your contribution to the project.
We believe that by providing disposable cameras and embracing the diverse perspectives of Baltimore residents, we can create a compelling visual narrative that reflects the richness and complexity of our city. Your participation is instrumental in making this project a success.
