"We The People" | CPDP photographs at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture

The new exhibition "We The People" at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture (VMHC) in Richmond, Virginia, tells the many stories of immigrants and immigration to the Commonwealth since the first English settlement in 1607 in Jamestown, and includes perspectives from the Native American community.  

Many of the contemporary photographs on display are from the collection of the Columbia Pike Documentary Project, mostly by chief photographer Lloyd Wolf, and an additional contribution by CPDP writer/interviewer/artist Sushmita Mazumdar of Studio Pause. There are also excerpts of interviews we did with Columbia Pike residents included as part of the extensive project. The exhibition will be shown in Richmond until September 7, 2026, then travel throughout the state.

Thanks to our friend and supporter David Bearinger for connecting us to the VMHC, to co-curators Julie Maio Kemper and Noah Tinsley, and the staff and leadership of the VMHC. Much obliged.
