Rhianna Benicase, junior, viewing
the exhibition: Warren Lehrer & Judith Sloan’s “Crossing the BLVD” during its reception last Friday.

The exhibition focuses on the diverse culture of Queens, New York, and includes firsthand experiences of immigrants who have made Queens their home. Photographs of the immigrants are paired with their own written word, and if you slip on a pair of headphones you can hear their own voice, edited with music pertaining to their background. Creating a rich portrayal of the subjects, the exhibition shows a very intimate look into their lives.

“Crossing the BLVD” in the Tyler Art Gallery will be open until October 10th, Tuesdays through Saturdays between 11:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. In addition, this September 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Waterman Theatre in Tyler Hall, Judith Sloan will put on a performance intimating the stories of the immigrants they interviewed.

Kaitlin Provost graduated from SUNY Oswego, majoring in journalism with a learning agreement in photography. She grew up in five different towns all over the Northeast, eventually settling and graduating from high school in Hudson, Massachusetts. Kait now lives in the blustery town of Oswego, New York, where she can frequently be found running around like a madwoman, avoiding snow drifts taller than her head (which, incidentally, is not very tall). She has worked for her campus newspaper, The Oswegonian, as the Assistant News Editor, and is also the President of the Oswego chapter of Ed2010, a national organization which helps students break into the magazine industry. She hopes to one day work for National Geographic and travel the world.
