Throughout the fall of 2007, The Bridge PAI hosted an intergenerational photography and audio documentary workshop called Generations.

Six high school students were selected to take part in a three-month workshop that paired them with senior citizens in nursing homes. The objective was for the students to listen and learn about the lives of the seniors, and to document their experience and stories through photographic and audio media. The workshop included weekly visiting sessions between the students and seniors, and editing meetings at The Bridge.

There will be an exhibition of their work at The Bridge, beginning with a guest reception on Friday, February 1 from 6-8 pm; the work will remain up throughout the month.
