"From the World to Lynn: Stories of Immigration"

"From the World to Lynn: Stories of Immigration," a multimedia exhibit by Andrea Patiño Contreras on view through April 13, 2015; reception/gallery talk January 15, 2015, 6-8 p.m. Contreras, a native Colombian, created this work while in Massachusetts as a CDS Lewis Hine Documentary Fellow. She came to the U.S. at age 19, and was amazed at the "magnitude of the immigration phenomenon" in this country, a subject she explored in this project based in Lynn, Massachusetts, where foreign-born residents make up 30 percent of the population, including large Cambodian, Bhutanese, and Iraqi communities. The work includes black-and-white photos, audio oral histories, and an interactive website.
