Katie Tackman’s photography often centers on vintage cars — and not on typical images of gleaming tail fins and shining chrome, but on older, rustier models that still roam the city streets.

This weekend she’ll turn her interest and talent toward helping vulnerable immigrant communities in the Philadelphia area, joining other photographers to raise money at the Artists for Immigrant Rights Photo Sale and Exhibition.

Organizers say it’s part show, part community gathering, part act of solidarity, an event that unites people who believe that art can protect and strengthen.

Some of the photographers who’ll take part concentrate on social-justice issues. Others focus on birds, landscapes, or architecture.
