Picture the Change > Call for Entries<br />
Since the early 1960s, the visual vocabulary of social<br />
change has been dominated by images of massive, popular<br />
demonstration. More recently though, such public<br />
events have failed to capture the public imagination or<br />
produce visual icons similar to those of the March on<br />
Washington, the March on the Pentagon, the ERA rallies,<br />
or the AIDS quilt. Yet the hard work of social change<br />
continues all around us every day. Instead of mass protest,<br />
we now have organic farms in the heart of the city,<br />
music studios catering to positive hip-hop, laboratories<br />
dedicated to clean energy, socially responsible businesses,<br />
and youth workers reaching out to the dropped out and<br />
disengaged. This project seeks to collect an array of<br />
images from <strong>Boston</strong>, MA that represent these modern<br />
forms of social change and challenge our understanding<br />
of what constitutes social change itself. To participate<br />
in this group, send an e-mail to avitch@gmail.com. The<br />
project will remain open until September <strong>2008</strong>, at which<br />
time a panel will review the collection and select a portfolio<br />
for an online and, funding permitting, a traveling<br />
exhibition.<br />
