When curator Steven Bridges invited Faheem Majeed to do a show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, he was most interested in Majeed’s work as an artist. Majeed, who lives in South Shore, takes photos and creates installations that both record the changes in his neighborhood and reflect on his role as an artist living in that neighborhood.

“At first Steven thought it was weird,” Majeed says, “but then he thought it was brilliant.”
