Cafecito: Building Community to
Break Barriers

Featured in Photoville’s Brooklyn Bridge Park Festival, Building Community to Break Barriers celebrates various photographers’ work in a virtual call screen mock-up where we held our meet-ups.

Each tile highlighted the work of 37 participating photographers, accompanied by their names and a QR code to their websites. The salon-style imagery on the container walls shares selected series from photographers’ whose stories highlight their community or communities that have deepened their sense of belonging through their lenses and human connection.

The exhibition also holds space for visitors to participate, answering the prompt: what does it mean to be creative and share their thoughts, hopes, and ideas.
