Joshua Sariñana: Promotes photography and poetry ‘Through These Realities’

I caught up with the multi-faceted Joshua Sariñana to talk about his new project with the Somerville Arts Council, titled Through These Realities, that will seek six local poets and photographers of color, who will create a series of images, inspired by prompt-guided poetry from poets.

The project centers around racial social justice, poetry, and photography. The works will be judged by a panel, and winners will receive cash prizes. The works will be exhibited and appear on an online magazine.

According to his website, “Joshua Sariñana, PhD, took an interest in photography as his passion in the brain and mind started to develop. As he studied neuroscience at UCLA, MIT and as a Harvard research fellow, Sariñana began to switch his focus to the practice and theoretical study of photography.”
