LES Yearbook is a multimedia project in collaboration with residents from Lower East Side public housing to create a yearbook which celebrates the spirit and legacy of our community through photography, art, poetry, music, and conversations between our elders and youth. This yearbook will serve as a timeline to preserving resident narratives and touching on community wellness, perceptions of space, finding common ground through shared memory.
