About
Hybrid Learning
Timeline is a real-time exploration of our changing world through the photographic lens—a living, evolving archive built by documentarians, photojournalists, and street photographers capturing what is happening right now in the places they call home, documenting a nation in flux and creating a visual record for next generations.
Cohort – New York City with Amy Touchette
Guided by photographer Amy Touchette, the New York City cohort of Timeline will explore one of the world’s most dynamic and continually evolving urban landscapes. From its distinct neighborhoods and communities to the constant movement of people, cultures, and ideas through its streets, New York offers an extraordinary setting for documenting the everyday moments and larger forces that shape contemporary city life.
Participants will engage deeply with the people, places, rhythms, and visual stories that define New York City, developing long-form photographic projects that reflect the city’s complexity and character. Through Touchette’s mentorship and a sustained practice of observation and engagement, photographers will contribute a diverse and evolving portrait of New York to the Timeline archive—creating a visual record of a city in constant motion and transformation.
The first meeting will be held via Zoom on Saturday, January 30, 1-3:30pm (Eastern Time). It will be an introductory session, during which Amy will discuss her work and the participants will share theirs. The group will meet for a photowalk (TBD) the following day, Sunday, January 31, 12-2pm (Eastern Time). Subsequent sessions will be scheduled by Amy and the group.
