Students of Elizabeth Borland (Sociology) and Anita Allyn (Fine Arts) collaborated to produce an exhibition of photography, audio, and text documenting the Old Trenton Neighborhood’s past, present, and future. Over the course of the semester, students collected archival images from the Trentoniana collection, interviewed residents of nearby senior centers, analyzed data, and designed an exhibition. Their findings will be presented to Isles, Inc., which is developing a plan to transform the neighborhood into an arts district.
