PHOTOVOICE GALLERY - Hosted by Community Service Society of NY

Over the course of 6 weeks in April and May, twenty-six residents from NYHCA developments in East and Central Harlem met in groups to discuss how they stay healthy; they were then asked to showcase their experience through photographs. Residents identified the photographs that best express what healthy looks like in their neighborhoods, as well as the barriers to health they experienced.

The PhotoVoice images serve to raise awareness in support of further advocacy to eliminate barriers to health in East and Central Harlem, and to highlight the community in all its richness and vibrancy.
