Boston Outdoor Photography Exhibit Hopes To Spur Change, Show Stories Of Unity

BOSTON — The Boston Uncornered Photo Project Exhibit can now be found on the Seaport Common at 85 Northern Avenue, with over thirty 5’x8′ black and white portraits serving as a reminder of our unified humanity. “We started with students first- portraits- and then we started mixing in sort of prominent people from Boston,” photographer John Huet shared.

“The Uncornered Photo Project, which grew out of Boston Uncornered, is really about showing the universality of our stories: how we’re trapped and cornered and how we can be uncornered, how we can get unstuck and get out of our low times if we lean into our networks and if we allow other people to help us,” said founder and CEO of Boston Uncornered Mark Culliton.

Will Dunn is one of the people with his story on display. The Roxbury native is now a College Readiness Advisor with Boston Uncornered, helping empower youth to break the cycle of poverty and violence. The organization helps former gang members pursue college degrees, supports them with weekly stipends, and provides mentoring.
