A Week In Your Life: Stories in Focus Exhibition
Join us for a special gallery exhibition showcasing powerful photographs and personal reflections on aging in NYC. Created through a two-part workshop led by Charlie Markham and Forefront Fellows, this exhibit captures stories of home, community, and identity. Presented in partnership with the Urban Design Forum’s Forefront Fellowship, the project celebrates aging with support, dignity, and visibility. Don’t miss this moving tribute to lived experience and creative expression.
