Momentum Polaroids By Runaways

With a mission to give the kids living on the streets, outside the San Francisco SPACE gallery/hair salon an opportunity to create art and express themselves. Momentum put cameras into the hands of street youth, giving them free reign to document their experiences and create personal expression. Knowing their lives were transient and the art needed to be instant, Polaroid cameras were chosen. The work was shown at SPACE gallery on polk street, with the exhibit hosted by Norman and Norah Stone. During its three year span, Momentum raised over $100,000 for Larkin Street Youth Project and gained sponsorship by Polaroid and Bulgari. These events gained local and national coverage, including coverage in Surface magazine.
