What Moves You?

Guest curators invite a diverse range of photographers to talk about what inspires and moves them — how they created a specific project, what impact they want their work to have, and more. Each talk is followed by a Q&A with the audience (photo_talks last about an hour). Space is limited.

Admission to this series is by donation, with all proceeds going to The Migrant Kitchen Initiative. Suggested donation is $10 (or more!) — but pay what you wish (minimum $1).

Since May 2020, our Photo_Talks have raised $10,054 for The Migrant Kitchen Initiative, helping provide thousands of healthy meals to people in need.

The Migrant Kitchen Initiative was born out of a need to feed the most vulnerable during the height of the coronavirus pandemic in New York City. Their work continues, as migrants from around the world come together in their global kitchens to share their stories and cultures through healthy, delicious meals that are served to the food insecure in communities around the world. Private donors cover all of their operating expenses, which allows The Migrant Kitchen Initiative, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, to put 100% of all funds donated towards feeding those in need.
