In Transit: Voices & Vision presents art prints in the theme of journey inside MBTA Orange Line trains, a space normally reserved for commercial advertising. Lisa Link, in collaboration with Brad Bleidt and Suamy Ventura, will lead the community design process with Boston Public School teens who participate in the Urban Scholars pre-collegiate program at UMass Boston.

Lisa Link is a photo-based web designer, parent of Boston public school graduates. After earning her MFA in photography, Lisa taught at the Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild in Pittsburgh for several years. Her art focuses on political and social issues, is community focused, and has toured nationally.
