Transparent is a series featuring interviews as well as a short documentary focused on immigrants living in the United States. Each interview gives insight into their inspiring and sometimes treacherous experiences. The Transparent exhibition was sponsored in part by the Birmingham chapter of the NAACP.
The documentary was co-directed by Kelsey Harrison and me. Photographs were taken by Gina DeSimone, Holly Ravazzolo, and Sarah Adkins.
