Five Exhibits of Photographs by Immigrant and Refugee Teens

Russian Immigrant Youth in a New Land

The young photographers come from the former Soviet Union, are all under 18 and most have been in the United States for less than a year. They are part of a growing and little known West Hollywood Russian community. The project is led by award-winning documentary photographer Jim Hubbard and being run by Venice Arts in the Neighborhood, a group that exposes low income youth to the arts.
