WHOSE STREETS? OUR STREETS! NYC: 1980-2000

Posted on 2016-12-26

Featuring work by more than thirty eight independent photojournalists, this exhibit captures ordinary New Yorkers as they rallied, rioted, marched, and demonstrated. These stunning images document historic moments of violent confrontation such as the Tompkins Square Park and Crown Heights Riots and as well as organized protests involving non-violent civil disobedience and creative street theater. Collectively, these photographs, which have never before been exhibited together, chronicle New York’s history from 1980-2000.

Opposite – Mark Peterson, 1991

Exhibition runs through to March 5th, 2017
