Harlem: Red, Black and Green
Edited by Gerald L. Leavell II, Expanding the Walls and Youth Programs Coordinator Expanding the Walls: Making Connections Between Photography, History and Community is an eight-month photography-based program that challenges young artists to explore the legacy and work of photographer James VanDerZee, learn digital photography and engage with the larger Harlem community. This year’s Expanding the Walls artists were asked to investigate the neighborhood through a personal lens and share their photographic interpretations. This is how they see Harlem. Expanding the Walls is made possible with support by the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency; Colgate-Palmolive; Deutsche Bank; The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust; Dubose and Dorothy Heyward Memorial Fund and The David Rockefeller Fund. 2 Alexandra Barlowe Harlem’s Baptism, 2011
