Come over to the Bronx Documentary Center today from 4-7PM to see the works of the Bronx Junior Photo League, a group of students from Immaculate Conception School in Melrose.

The 6th-8th grade students have been working hard all year-long with the BDC’s staff and volunteers in learning photography and how to document your own neighborhood in the hopes of creating future journalists from within our own communities.

BDC volunteers, Melissa Bunni Elian and Groana Melendez guide a Bronx Junior Photo League member as she edits her work.

Last year’s exhibition was quite impressive and we’re looking forward to see what this year’s class has developed (pun very much intended).

The exhibition is on view from today, Thursday, May 14th through Sunday, May 17th.

Check out our pictures from last year’s exhibition!

The BDC is located at 614 Courtlandt Avenue at the corner of E 151st Street:
