“Behind Closed Doors” examines the jobs, families, lives and dreams of the working poor in Minnesota. Students from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design partnered with the Urban Coalition to document the diverse people and places that are part of low-income communities in the Twin Cities and Greater Minnesota.
The work was exhibited at the Franklin Learning Center, Intermedia Arts, MCAD Gallery, and the Minneapolis Foundation in Minneapolis. The Franklin Library acquired photographs from Behind Closed Doors as part of their permanent collection. Photo District News, an online media resource, published an article in their educators’ site in December 03.
The work was also served as an illustration backdrop for a community forum on “Documentary Photography A Tool for Social Change” at MCAD in October 2003.
