Documenting Somerville: Labor, Community, and Housing

  • Somerville Museum One Westwood Road Somerville, MA 02143 (map)

Join curator Ivan Abarca-Torres for a conversation with photographers Charan Deveraux, Yorgos Efthymiadis, Greer Muldowney, Amber Tourlentes, and Steve Tourlentes, along with Somerville housing specialist William Camilo Shelton. Together, they will discuss the photographers’ approaches to documenting Somerville’s evolving urban landscape.

Shelton brings a wide-ranging perspective to the conversation, having worked as a community organizer, sociologist, carpenter, e-commerce executive, and strategy consultant to Fortune 500 companies. He led the Somerville Community Corporation for seven years, co-founded the Mystic View Task Force, and wrote a column for The Somerville Times for 13 years.
