CAPACITY is a community-engaged research project about local murals, public art, and community identity.

This project was sponsored by Lackawanna County Arts and Culture Department.

Photovoice

CAPACITY uses a method called Photovoice, in which members of the community investigate the relationships between murals and the community’s collective sense of identity by taking photographs and discussing them. The project’s culmination is a photography exhibition in which policymakers, mural artists, public art initiatives, and our diverse community can join in discussion about how local public artworks can be used to inclusively represent and unify the community.
