  • The International Center of Photography (ICP)

Join ICP faculty members Abigail Montes and Tiffany Williams for a hands-on imagemaking activity exploring the neighborhood! As we celebrate DUMBO, what are the people, places, and things that make this particular neighborhood come to life? While learning basic photographic techniques, participants will use whatever imagemaking device they have (smartphone, iPad, camera, etc.) to document what stands out most to them. They will then share their images as a group in honoring the day and can post to #ICPinDUMBO (Photoville hashtags) to contribute to a greater community archive!

The group will meet at the ICP tent.
