Today's photograph shows phone booths in New York City that have been rewired to tell stories of immigrants that have settled down in the United States.
"Once Upon a Place" is the brainchild of Afghan-American artist Aman Mojadidi and Times Square Arts. Then installation will be up until September 5 in New York City's Duffy Square. Visitors can listen to the voices of migrants and their stories about their experiences in the US in the three telephone booths in the square.
In addition to the 70 stories - each lasting between 2 and 15 minutes - inside the phone books in the booths it will be possible to read stories about foreign communities in New York, details on the countries of origin and leave comments on one's own story.
Mojadidi recorded the stories over a period of several months, listening to people from all over the world. "When people enter the phone booth, they pick up the receiver and they listen to the oral histories of the people who have come here from countries as diverse as Tibet, Dominican Republic, Ghana, China," Mojadidi says in a video to promote the work.
"I came to America due to Boko Haram," one voice says. "What I like most about the US is the craziness," says a female voice in Spanish. There are stories of children carried in bags to cross the Mexican border and of youths that entered the country with the hope of a happy future.
"People coming to the United States want to settle here and make a better life with themselves. It shouldn't be something that's feared," continued Mojadidi, adding, "It should be something celebrated."
