This series of photographs documents the collaborative process between art, design and community. The Storefront Library is a temporary library for a community in Boston which has been without its own branch of the Boston Public Library since it was closed and demolished as part of the Central Artery construction in 1956. The Department of Micro-Urbanism co-produced this project with Boston Street Lab, in collaboration with the Friends of the Chinatown Library.

Youth Voices: We Are America
New England Chinese Youth Summer Camp's (NECYSC)ExplorAsian Program

Asian, Asian American, Chinese, Chinese American - what's the difference? How does the history of Chinese people in America affect who I am today? What responsibility do I have in making society a better place? These are questions that today's youth are asking and ones that high school artists explore in this exhibition.

The exhibition highlights the different voices of Chinese American youth finding their sense of belonging in America. Artists' works encompass emotion that range from grief and isolation, to hope, empowerment, humor, and self-pride. The most prevalent themes address stereotypes encountered in daily life and at school.

View the artists' experiences through:

• photo collages that represent the artists' various communities
• comic strips that portray experiences growing up
• self-portraits

All artists attended the NECYSC ExplorAsian Program during the last week of July 2009. The program is an overnight summer camp held at Regis College for high school youth from the Greater Boston area. For more information or to get involved, visit www.necysc.org/explorasian
