"Queens (as the world's) Village: Know your Neighbor" is a socially interactive photography project detailing the neighborhood of Queens Village. It exposes and addresses the issue of cultural indifference by educating and uniting the diverse business owners and residents in a series of programs, panel discussions and workshops.
This project will address the issue of cultural intolerance and indifference of Queens Village by educating its residents young and old of each culture's positive attributes and also help unify a diverse neighborhood.
