Monica Jane Frisell and Adam Scher will gather stories and large format, black and white portraits of residents of Savannah, GA, which will be added to their growing catalog and long term project Portrait of US. At the end of the month they will share these portraits and audio stories in a pop up exhibit open to the public. 

Their Nomadic Photo Ark is traveling around the country, creating a growing and evolving collection of stories and portraits of the United States today. The Ark has a fully contained photo darkroom and small office space. From there they develop film, print portraits, and edit interviews.

Throughout the month, the Ark will be available for tours and walkthroughs. Planned workshops will enable participants to learn the basics of analog photography and storytelling. Participants will make pinhole cameras and print from paper negatives within the Ark. Paired with one another, they are encouraged to take each other's portraits and exchange a small story. The work and the stories made at the workshop will be shown at the end of the month. Click here to learn more
