Call for entry: WITNESS

In partnership with photojournalist and musician Tamir Kalifa, Green Street Photo Collective invites photographers based in New England to submit work exploring what it means to witness. We’re looking for work that engages with witnessing — through themes of humanity, resilience, and presence. Selected work will be exhibited May 3rd as part of Witness, a multimedia performance by Tamir.

Tamir Kalifa is an independent photographer and musician based in Austin, Texas. Guided by the belief that compassionate visual storytelling and music can help deepen the understanding of ourselves and one another, he focuses his work on individuals and communities facing major social, political, and environmental challenges. Tamir’s work has been published widely in The New York Times, Texas Monthly, NPR and other outlets, and his intimate documentation of the families in Uvalde after the Robb Elementary School shooting earned him recognition from the Chris Hondros Fund and the American Mosaic Journalism Prize. Tamir also wrote, recorded and performed original music as a member of Mother Falcon, an Austin-based orchestral indie-rock ensemble founded in 2009. His new multimedia performance project, Witness, blends his images with original songs inspired by his experiences behind the camera.
