We all know someone with a gun but do we know how they feel about it? What events led up to them having a gun? What created the fascination? who are these gun owners, and do the reasons that they are gun owners vary in when and why they use their gun? I am connected to this story because I am always asking the question “why?” I like to undersstand things deeply. I know people that have lost loved ones to gun violence. I have lost loved ones to gun violence. I have people close to me who have also had to act in self defense, with a gun. All situations boil down to the question, who and why?
I will use this space to conduct private and group interviews and photo sessions to complete this Photo series. I will also use the space as a gallery for the Photo exhibition when it is final.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
