Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Community members will gain skills in humanist photography and interviewing through training with photographer Grzegorz Litynski, and in doing so build capacity for future artistic creation. Mobile exhibition of portraits and interviews will enable Minnesotans to gain access to stories about Polish-American community members that they may not otherwise have exposure to, will enable community members to make connections between the ?Solidarity? movement in Poland and contemporary liberation movements, and will enable Polish-Americans of many generations to see themselves represented in the story of Minnesotan immigration. Lead photographer Grzegorz Litynski will assess participants' development in photography and interviewing skills, using a series of check-ins during the project. Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to fill out assessment forms, which will be designed by an evaluation advisor, and content of the responses will be measured to assess proposed outcomes for transformation of perspectives.
