Every person has a story.
Every story shapes our city.
SonderSLC by Kelli Freshman
Coming 2025 Downtown Salt Lake City
SonderSLC is an open-air portrait exhibit celebrating the unseen lives that shape our city. Through photography, interviews, and immersive storytelling, we invite you to experience Salt Lake through new eyes — one person, one story at a time.
Be Part of the Story
We are looking for people of all ages who live or work in Salt Lake City. No experience needed — just a willingness to show up and be yourself. We’re looking for the people who run our incredible city. The baristas, bus drivers, window cleaners, mechanics, small-business owners, you get the idea. Help me highlight the amazing individuals that give Salt Lake City its heart.
If selected, you’ll spend about 3 hours with photographer Kelli Freshman in May/June 2025 for:
A relaxed conversation and interview
A candid photo session in your real environment
A second shoot if needed to complete your story
You’ll receive all final photos as a thank you for your time.

In Partnership With: THE BLOCKS ART DISTRICT
We’re proud to partner with The Blocks Arts District’s Co-Create program to make SonderSLC possible.
Together, we’re turning an alleyway into a living tribute to the people who make this city extraordinary.
