Our Mission
LES Yearbook is a multimedia archival project in collaboration with residents from Lower East Side public housing. It celebrates the spirit and legacy of our community through photography and conversations between our elders and youth. This yearbook will serve as a timeline to preserving resident narratives and touching on community wellness, perceptions of space, finding common ground through shared memory.
We’ve hosted a range of workshops and events, including our very first exhibition featuring work from over 15 local artists. While the community project has grown in many ways, the vision for a physical yearbook, a living archive, has always been at the heart of it a way to tell our story, made for us, by us preserving our history.
We also seek to standardize Pride for the Commonwealth of other states by holding a state-wide Annual Humanum Protection Celebrations.
