More than a third of Claremont's residents are under 18, and the neighborhood's playgrounds, community centers, and basketball courts are a daily draw. These photographs capture life as it unfolded around the Butler Community Center in Summer 2019. In 2021, the Butler Photo Club—comprised of teen photographers who live in Claremont—convened at the center for the first time.
[The Claremont Documentary Project was created by the Bronx Documentary Center in partnership with city agencies. Since the project's inception, Bronx photographers and Claremont residents have collaborated to tell stories about life in Claremont, Bronx.]
