The Early Conversations

100 Conversations began with an informal glass of wine with Amy Macdonald, Director of Community Engagement from WBUR’s CitySpace. We were discussing life transitions and the next day, she connected me, via email, with Amy Bennitt from Motor Media. Ami has worked with many arts organizations across Boston and was involved with The Shout Syndicate, focused on generating new funders for creative youth development. When Ami and I met, she said when thinking about your next move, its good to have 100 conversations with people to figure things out. So that is what I set out to do! While I didn’t photodocument these early conversations, I had wonderful meetings with David Dower, the Artistic Director of ArtsEmerson, David Odo, the Director of Academic and Public Programs at the Harvard Art Museums and Katharine Lusk from the BU Initiative on Cities.
