Portraits of an Epicenter: NYC in Lockdown

This book contains written reflections and photography by LaGuardia Community College students who documented their experiences during New York City’s first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Spring of 2020. When LaGuardia Community College closed its campus, the students worked remotely to shift their projects from their original plans to research and document the legacy of programs that began under the Ed Koch mayoral administration in the 1980s.
