Sharita Towne’s photo exhibition on view this month at Newspace Center for Photography is designed to help people to see the gentrification of Portland in a new way. “Our City in Stereo” evolved through a residency at North Portland’s c3:initiative with research and a series of community events.
This weekend Towne and Newspace are inviting everyone to get in on the action, with an event for sharing photos and stories about Portland’s gentrification. The Cascade Stereoscopic Club will present some digital stereo photos they’ve collected as well.
We talked with Sharita Towne, and with Newspace curator Yaelle Amir, who helped steer the project.
