Community Photo Project develops city portrait one square at a time


Listen Later

Ten years have passed since local creatives launched the Fort Wayne 1X1 Community Photo Project. The purpose, explained by two of the project’s coordinators, Cara Lee Wade and Teresa Stephens, was to document our fair city, one square at a time. And now it’s time to see how things have changed. To that end, individuals are invited to join in the photographing of the same randomly picked squares, using their preferred photographic style and medium between now and September. WBOI’s Julia Meek spoke with Wade and Stephens about the history, scope and focus of this momentous initiative, the shape their end game will take and how the community can become involved. The project is open to all Fort Wayne area photographers, ages 16 and up. For complete information visit the Fort Wayne 1x1:10 Facebook page. WBOI Artcentric is brought to you by WBOI’s own Julia Meek and Ben Clemmer. Our theme music is “Me voy pal campo'' by KelsiCote. Our production assistants are Monica Blankenship, Meihkai Bowers, Steve Mullaney, Kyle Norbeck, Diahmynd Thomas, Mikaela Veltum, and Sydney Wagner.
