Scot Langdon, a former filmmaking teacher at Tewksbury High School and local visual journalist & commercial photographer, began a personal project in September 2021 to photograph an Afghan family’s resettlement to Lowell from a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. The series of powerful black and white images focuses on the family, and specifically, the father Zardad, and his path through English tutoring and opening a bank account, to interviewing for employment and settling into life in America. The photography project, titled “Finding Home,” is on display on the second floor of the Library from November 5, 2024 through December 30, 2024.

A presentation and discussion with Langdon about his photography project will take place on Saturday, November 16 at 2:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.
