Rollin' and Dustin': Pathways to Urban Life Styles: Gallery Photos

Rollin' and Dustin: Pathways to Urban Life Styles, February 16 - March 17, 2006.

Opening reception: February 16, 2006, 5-8 pm in the Jean J. Schensul Community Gallery at The Institute for Community Research, 2 Hartford Sq. West Ste. 100, Hartford, CT, 06106.

"Rollin’ and Dustin’ in Hartford: Pathways to Urban Life Styles” explores the spread, use and consequences of drugs for young adults (between ages 16-30) in the Greater Hartford area. The exhibit focuses mainly on MDMA (Ecstasy) and Dust (PCP) use, detailing findings from two ICR projects over the last 10 years portrayed through comic book characters. The information is displayed on over a dozen large panels, which feature quotes, survey data, and interpretations. The panels were created through a collaboration between ICR and the Hartford Animation Institute.
