Guest Editor, HYCIDE magazine celebrates stories and images of Newark, by Newarkers, with a special print issue. The city-based photojournalism and arts journal collaborated with Rutgers-Newark students and faculty on a project that explores the lives of residents whose authentic voices and images rarely appear in mainstream media. The issue presents an alternative narrative of the city from the first-person perspective of gang members, public housing residents, the LGBT community, homeless residents and others. But it also includes stories on Newark’s thriving cultural scene, along with people and organizations who work to make the city a better place. The Newark issue was created to document of a city on the cusp of potential transformation as redevelopment plans are realized and many see signs of impending gentrification. In addition to work from Newark writers, students and photographers, the issue includes a foreword by Christa Clarke, the Newark Museum's senior curator of the Arts of Global Africa, and an introduction by Mark Krasovic, associate director of Rutgers Institute on Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience.
