Doctoral student Jasen was awarded an artistic grant from the City of Boston in June to produce photos for several housing development buildings in East Boston and the Orient Heights neighborhood. This project was not solely focused on urban photography; instead, it served as an ethnography project for him, involving the documentation of the community landscape, active participation in municipal events, and collaboration with local artists ViceOne and A Trike Called Funk. During the allocated week, he conducted a graffiti workshop with these artists and hired three youth from the local Boys and Girls Club to assist him with the project, while also sharing photography skills with the youth.

Here are a couple of pictures he provided, and if you are interested in more of his works and projects, visit his instagram and homepage.
