The "Voices of Lefferts" Writing Project
"Voices of Lefferts creates a space for PLG residents to put into practice the credo of the 1930's Federal Writers' Project which set out to 'introduce Americans to America' in the context of one Brooklyn neighborhood through portraits, interviews, and local histories". - Deborah Mutnick, Project Director
Each journal features portraiture of the writers who participate in the project. I follow the authors around their homes, on the streets of Flatbush, and to local markets, churches, and parks while they tell me their stories: how and when they got here and why this is home.
