Building on work done for the FSA and what might be for some, a new way of seeing, we are launching a Call for Entries for photographs to explore or document a whole range of objects, structures or situations that consciously or unconsciously assign value or status of a neighborhood or community. This is an open ended call for all images to explore, document, comment or reflect on how we inventory the world around us.

Interlines: Lifelines, Redlines & Social Markers looks to capture the present through a wider lens, to explore and question what you see in your community, what you see in neighboring communities? "Good Neighborhoods" "Bad Neighborhoods" As we discuss infrastructure on a national level, what landmarks, signposts or stores do you use to evaluate need, health, or affluence of a community? This is a call to explore social markers… to start conversations… to ask the question, is your fear real?
