In 2026, Photoville and PhotoWings are embarking on a collaborative, intergenerational photography project. Bridging Generations is a year-long initiative in two locations—New York City and the Bay Area—that centers on intergenerational exchange, oral history, community storytelling, and creative collaboration.
Bridging Generations aims to create empathy, trust, and mutual respect, and hopes it inspires others to seek intergenerational sharing in their own communities. The initiative brought together local high school students andolder adults who participated in a two-way learning model. Each participant brought a personal photograph and a story to share with their partner. Through sharing lived experiences, oral history interviews, and a collaborative art project creating cyanotype images, participants fostered new, intergenerational connections. Participants had their portraits taken together and reflected upon their experiences both in group exercises and through video recordings.
