"WE
ARE ITHACA….a celebration in portraits
Ithaca wi
ll host a multi-faceted portrait project in 2017/18 that uses the power of
photography to engage diverse communities within our city in dialogue and
celebration of our complex identity.
At the heart of We
Are Ithaca is the portrait project carried out by Project Director Robyn
Wishna\, a small group of Ithaca College Park School of Communication stud
ents and a few other key personnel. The project is possible by a generous
grant from the Park Foundation in collaboration with the Community Arts Pa
rtnership.
Through a series of at least 15-18 por
trait sessions throughout Ithaca\, they will make images of hundreds of It
hacans. Effort will be made to have sessions in all quadrants of the city
in an attempt to be as inclusive as possible. People will be invited to in
clude something meaningful in their portrait and/or be dressed in clothing
that speaks to a part of their identity\, life\, history. At the same tim
e\, those who are willing\, will have 15 seconds to share something about
themselves on video.
The collective results will
provide and informative and inspirational visual foundation to a vibrant c
ommunity celebration and a valuable historic snapshot of Ithaca to be shar
ed with future generations.

ing post-production of photographs and videos are completed.
Our collective desire to be seen and heard is powerful. We Are
Ithaca celebrates the individuals who compose our rich community from pro
minent community leaders to less visible residents. It will culminate with
a public event that seeks to maximize the visibility of the project and i
ts participants while creating an opportunity for people to connect\, shar
e and celebrate.

each be hung in 10 locations around the city\, hung across another locatio
n\, or possibly hung at Commons for event and then brought to TCPL or othe
r locations to be displayed longer.
