Newton has over 14 miles of streams and brooks, including those that flow freely in the daylight and those that are confined underground. Since 2019, city resident Alex Griswold has been walking Newton’s streams to find and photograph them – from their sources to where they arrive at the Charles River and everything in between. Tracing the streams through parks and conservation areas, back yards and parking lots, the photographs reveal hidden glens and secret waterfalls, remarkable stonemasonry, and the astonishing resilience of nature. Join us to see a selection from this photographic project and learn more about the history and surprising beauty of Newton’s streams.
Alex Griswold is a multimedia producer specializing in science documentaries and interactive museum exhibits. His photographs of Newton’s streams have been exhibited at Newton Free Library, Newton City Hall, Harvard University, and New Art Center.
