The Columbia Pike Documentary Project (CPDP) is a team of artists portraying the contemporary life of people and sites along the exceptionally ethnically-diverse and rapidly-changing Columbia Pike corridor in Arlington, Virginia. Columbia Pike is one of the most culturally varied and transitional neighborhoods in the Washington, DC metro area, and indeed, in the world. Photographers Lloyd Wolf, Duy Tran, Paula Endo, Xang Mimi Ho, Aleksandra Lagkueva, and historian Todd Endo are creating an ongoing body of work which consists of photographs and oral histories documenting the community’s life, culture, businesses, physical environment, historical trends, and neighborhoods. We are also collaborating with a team of oral history field researchers from George Mason University's Folklore Programs, led by Professor Debra Lattanzi Shutika. CPDP's projected visual work presents a wide range of powerful documentary photographs that vividly depict the multi-hued faces and places along the Pike.
