People of Chelsea Project in collaboration with Chelsea Black Community in celebration of Chelsea 400th Anniversary.
Photographer Darlene DeVita and writer Sarah Putnam teamed up to document the diverse and resilient community of Chelsea, MA through intimate portraits and personal histories which is now The People of Chelsea Project. For this exhibit, DeVita and Putnam have collaborated with the Chelsea Black Community (CBC ) to share stories that go back generations, showing life before and after the Chelsea fire of '73. These personal photos are projected onto the gallery’s white walls while the images and stories by DeVita and Putnam are hung on the gallery’s brick walls.
Additional hours available by request. Please email peopleofchelseaproject@gmail.com.
