Real People. Real Lives: Meet Anna, from Poland
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Real People. Real Lives, a NWNY photo exhibit on immigrant women, we are looking back to some of the participants’ stories. The exhibit featured photographs of 16 women in iconic NYC spots and neighborhoods by Dru Blumensheid. The portraits, along with audio recorded interviews, show a nuanced and multi-layered picture of the immigrant women who make NYC their home, the barriers and isolation they experience, as well the hopes, dreams and talents they bring with them. This month, meet Anna, a Polish woman who came to US looking for change in her life. Check out below her pictures and full audio interview.
