“Faces of Medford,” a photographic exhibit that explores the diversity of twenty-seven Medford families, will be on display in several locations over the next few weeks.

The traveling is a collaborative effort of the Medford’s Office of Human Diversity, the Medford Human Rights Commission, and the Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service at Tufts University. 

The exhibit will be on display in the Lawrence Memorial Hospital lobby from Monday, April 21, through Friday, April 25, and at Eastern Bank, 410 Riverside Avenue, from Tuesday, April 29, through Monday, May 5. 

Future times and locations for the exhibit are pending.

Human Diversity Director Diane Mcleod said the twenty-seven Medford families are “diverse in every sense of the word.”

The exhibit aims to showcase the city’s diverse families while at the same time promoting awareness and understanding of all types of family structures.

Jennifer Bollenbacher, a Tufts sophomore from Barrington, Illinois, helped recruit the families and organized the project.
