Aljira, a Center for Contemporary Art, is pleased to present Rebuilding Newark. Sponsored by the Local Initiatives Support Corporation’s Greater Newark and Jersey City Program (LISC), this exhibition presents an illustrated timeline of the community development corporations that emerged in Newark in response to the 1967 civil disturbance. This exhibition is guest curated by Bonnie Yochelson.
Also on view are Bending the Grid: Rest in Peace, by Helen M. Stummer, which presents the photography of Helen M. Stummer who has practiced social documentary photography for thirty years; and 5 Days in July: A Video Installation, a project by filmmaker Chuck Schultz and visual artist Esther Podemski that examines the 1967 Newark riots through newsreel footage and archival personal accounts from independent films.
