Publisher's Synopsis
In Project Lives, residents of New York's notorious housing projects use participatory photography to document life in these crumbling islands of red brick. Those who live in the projects have become targets of both the tabloid press and Hollywood, and garnered an appalling public image of crime and disrepair. But Project Lives shows an entirely different side of the story, one in which courageous souls attempt to change how America sees them with the aim of preserving their homes.
