An artist-led digital photography residency for NYC youth, NYC Salt was established to “engage, inspire, and empower youth to reach their full potential and develop a sense of agency, belonging, and integrated identity through the lens of a camera.” Currently on view through June 6 at Clement Clarke Moore Park on 10th Avenue and 22nd Street in Chelsea is “The Moment It Clicks,” an outdoor gallery featuring a delightfully diverse range of works by dozens of NYC Salt participants, as the non-profit celebrates its 20th anniversary. Pictured above is Mamiwata by Malike Sidibe. Several more images we recently captured while visiting the site follow:
