Andrea Patiño Contreras

Following a reception, Duke ('12) and Lewis Hine Documentary Fellow alum Andrea Patiño Contreras will give a tour of her multimedia exhibit "From the World to Lynn: Stories of Immigration," which explores a Northeastern city that is a hub of refugee resettlement. Composed of black-and-white photographs, audio oral histories, and an interactive website, the exhibit is the product of an independent project Contreras undertook while in Massachusetts as a Hine Fellow to help her better understand the community in which she was working¿the city of Lynn, where almost 30 percent of the population of 90,000 is foreign-born.
