“Somayeh Kashi, an art teacher at Rundlett Middle School, worked on her photo project, “Diversity in the 603” with a group of Concord High School students this past summer. The students walked around during Concord’s Market Days festival in June and took photos of more than 100 people. The portraits are now posted in storefronts along Main Street, and are plastered on walls of a few buildings.”
“The project was inspired by “Inside Out” a photo project involving black and white portraits posted in cities around the world by a French artist. More than 260,000 people have participated in 129 countries.” – Leah Willingham, Concord Monitor

“INSIDE OUT gives everyone the opportunity to share their portrait and make a statement for what they stand for. It is a global platform for people to share their untold stories and transform messages of personal identity into works of public art.” – http://www.insideoutproject.net
