STREET takes viewers back in time through a series of candid street photographs that capture varied aspects of humanity and society in the early 1980s. Striking black and white photographs showcase people on the street, chance encounters, reflections from store windows, graphic walls and signage. Captured on the streets of many cities from Chicago, Illinois to Cairo, Egypt, the timeless quality of the photographs evokes a sense of common humanity, focusing the lens on the shared universal qualities of humans regardless of their many differences. STREET provides engaging images that invite viewers to reflect on the ways photography shapes our understanding of public spaces and the stories embedded within them.
