In A New Land: Ten Years Later (Photography by Russian- Speaking Immigrants)

Sunday, November 1 through Monday, November 30

  • Date: November 01, 2015  
  • Location: West Hollywood Library
    625 N. San Vicente Boulevard

In 2005, during the City of West Hollywood’s 20th anniversary year, Venice Arts partnered with the City and the California Council for the Humanities to create In A New Land, a project with recently arrived immigrant teens from Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, and Russia. Together, they learned how to use photography to tell the stories of their new world and the presence of the old world within it. In A New Land: Ten Years Later brings back several of the original participants, along with new participants, for the City’s 30th anniversary. They were tasked with reflecting on how the immigration experience and the City have shaped their lives. This exhibit is free to attend, and is on view during regular operating hours at the West Hollywood Library through December 28, 2015. For more information, visit www.weho.org/arts or call (323) 848-6377.

Monday – Thursday: 11 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Friday – Saturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
Closed Sundays and holidays
