The 6th Boro

New York-based photographers, Lou Peralta and Joe Howansky are curating an exhibition which will feature nine photographers' take on New York City. I don't know much about this, but it seems really interesting, especially since my most recent project is based on Queens.

From their website:

The 6th Boro is an upcoming exhibition showcasing 9 photographer’s contrasting views of New York City. Despite its solid façade, the city is an amorphously perceived environment. It’s natives, it’s transplants, and those who simply come to visit as tourists have disparagingly different perceptions of it. They therefore experience what could conceptually be considered entirely different cities: the spectacle, the ideal, and the “truth”. The 6th Boro presents artists who, through their photography, convey alternate perceptions of the city which the viewer might be unfamiliar with.

Submissions are being accepted (for free!) until June 14th.
