Lab Book

A profile of the Williamsburg community focusing on the people who support it
*Main focus the artistic community; their role in the changing demographic
*Also focus on community at large (aka local, established businesses) in order to integrate the thoughts of the artistic community further

*Create a set of questions for each group; ask the same questions in order to create continuity
*Photograph each person/institution;

Our Audience:
*People newly arrived to the Williamsburg community; those who may not know of the drastic changes that the area have experienced
*Those who are heavily invested in the community; providing the alternative perspective of others who are involved in the community

Our Message/Why We Are Doing This:

*To provide a compilation of the perspectives and insights of those who have invested and taken part in the community during the ever changing demographic and cultural scene. We intend to create a book that is informational while being an artistic work. Within the book we will have individual profiles that focus on the responses of each person interviewed.


Each profile will have a photo or photos of the person interviewed and their artwork or the institution they represent.
Each profile will have the responses of the individual to our predetermined series of questions.

  1. Shuya, could you please contact me? I am Nealon's mother, I teach in Holyoke, MA, and next Thursday (April 23) I am bringing a group of high school students from Holyoke to Parsons to meet with your group. Do you know any of this?

    If I could have your email address I can send you information about who and why. Thank you. judekallok@gmail.com
