Scenario

When creative groups face ethical conflicts about their work

My photography collective formed around documenting our neighborhood but now gentrification has changed the area and we can't agree on whether our role is to preserve what was here or document what's happening now. Half of us feel like we're complicit in the changes just by continuing to photograph, and half of us think stopping would be abandoning our responsibility.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

External circumstances have forced a collaborative group to confront the political implications of their practice, revealing different values about art's relationship to social change.
