Synopsis


Brenda Kenneally has been documenting the causes, effects, and economy of the use and sale of illegal drugs in her Brooklyn, New York neighborhood. The mother of an eight-year-old, Kenneally has focused on how families can get lost in a culture of drugs and prison. She is searching for ways to motivate inner-city women to empower themselves, despite their limited social and economic opportunities. Professors Kim Grinfeder and Lelen Robert from CAMM worked with Brenda to bring her work online and find new and innovative methods of utilizing photography to promote social change.
