About

SOMASAPIENS is

a collaboration between the SOMA West Community Benefit District and award-winning filmmaker Grant Thompson. Inspired by the photo series ‘Humans of New York’, SOMASAPIENS seeks to share and celebrate the human stories that are the living tapestry of this vibrant community. We work with anyone and everyone who lives and works within the district. The aims of the project are twofold: 1) give the district a platform to represent itself as it imagines itself, & 2) uplift local businesses, artists, and craftspeople on an individual level by giving them film and photography material to market their work at no cost to them. Sounds too good to be true? We think so too.
