With Tufts RWB, we aim to create a forum for discussion regarding the freedom of information in the United States and abroad, global threats to press freedoms and the dynamic challenges of internet censorship and new media.
Using the site of the old Wonderland Amusement Park as a jumping off point, the Program for Narrative and Documentary Practice sent its students out along Route 1A north of Boston, and then winding back to Tufts, to explore the places many usually drive by but rarely stop to see.
Opening Reception: Wednesday, October 14, 7:00pm, Slater Concourse Gallery
