Ephemera Project - Lecture

  • Boston Public Library - Rabb Lecture Hall 700 Boylston Street Boston, MA, 02116 United States (map)

The Ephemera Project is a crowd-sourced photography initiative about individuals and their objects of personal significance. This is an ever-evolving collaborative project based in memory, self-reflection, and vulnerability. Included are notes from loved ones and objects that signify time passing - such as the broken watches of family members who have passed away, the baby teeth of grown children, mementos of a vacation and an ordinary subway ride token – fragments of ordinary life made extraordinary.

“Through the Lens: Exploring Community & Identity” is the theme for BPL’s 2023 Artist Talks series. This year’s series focuses on 4 regional artists who use photography to explore their selves and community around them.
