I’ll be reading from As an Alien in a Land of Promise during a luncheon fundraiser for the ACME Screening Room in Lambertville on Saturday.
After the luncheon, there will be a showing of Jack Ballo’s film and an exhibit of photos from Sherry Rubel.
The three of us spent the better part of a year visiting Tent City in Lakewood to document what can only be described as a community of internally displaced persons that sprouted in Ocean County. Lakewood officials fought the camp, which was closed earlier this year, and far too many have attempted to ignore the economic dysfunction that made it unfortunately necessary — and makes it likely that others will continue to sprout.
Now, nearly two years after we began the project, we are back together to present our work to the public — and, hopefully, to draw some attention to the plight of the homeless.
Send me an e-mail.
