Lacey Haslam: The Sidney Project

The Sidney Project is an archive exhibition of photopolymer prints and other ephemera, resulting in a series of three books that document the architecture, history, and personal stories of the people who have lived at 2878, 2880, and 2930 Sidney Avenue in Camp Washington in Cincinnati, Ohio. A neighborhood that once cultivated a deep sense of community amongst the 21,000 residents during the 1920s and 30s now only has 1,234 people residing there. With much of the residential housing stock demolished as a result of the construction of Interstate 75, parking needs, and general blight, this exhibition focuses on three still-standing structures that have witnessed numerous changes to the neighborhood.

This series captures and retells the backstories of these buildings through the lens of the people who have lived in and around them. In addition to the prints, this exhibition will include a projection displayed on the exterior of 2878 and 2880 Sidney Avenue, viewable from Township Street starting at dusk during October.
