Media Tools – Event Photos – WVU International Street Fair

Posted on by

For this project, I visited High Street in order to capture candid moments from the annual International Street Festival hosted by West Virginia University. At this event, members of the WVU community with ties to Brazil, China, India, Kuwait, Japan, Spain, Egypt, and Indonesia, among others, gathered to promote their unique cultures. The following five images offer a glimpse into the experience.
