Radical Justice Lifting Every Voice - Convoke

Radical Justicenbsp; Brings Together Two Bodies Of Socially-engaged Photographic Portraiture By Accra Shepp, Who Has Documented York Cityrsquo;s Occupy Wall Street Movement Starting In 2011 And Its Racial Justiceblm Protests Since 2020. Working In The Style Of August Sander With A Large Format Camera And Black And White Film, Shepp Pictures Fellow Yorkers On Their Cityrsquo;s Streets In Acts Of Sit-ins And Active Protest, Both Unplanned And Highly Organized, Both Independent And Unified, To Address Notions Of The 99 And 1, Which Have Become Part Of The American Political Vernacular. Bearing Witness To Defining Events Of The Last Decade That Echo The United Statesrsquo; Longer Historical Arch, Shepprsquo;s Empathetic Depictions Of Fellow Citizens Standing Up For The Fair Protection Of The Constitution Provide A Prophetic Mirror Of Current Events, Which Reflects Back Centuries To Where The American Experiment Began, To Suggest Where Wersquo;ll Find Ourselves In The Years To Come.
