Square Mile at Photoville Festival
Join us from June 1st during Photoville’s Opening Weekend Community Celebration for the inaugural exhibition of Square Mile, an initiative by VII Community in partnership with PhotoWings that showcases the significance of local stories in a global context.
Square Mile will be on view at this year’s Photoville in Brooklyn Bridge Park from June 1st to June 16th, 2024.
Square Mile is an initiative that presents diverse photographic explorations by members of VII Community. It is a geographic framework, signifying a local focus on spaces where personal, local, and global influences intersect. The projects explore how themes such as climate change, identity, history, legacy, migration, gender, and environment appear within a local perspective.

The annual Photoville Festival is returning to Brooklyn Bridge Park and in all five boroughs of New York City, June 1-16, 2024.
