Description

On April 18, 2015, town of Baltimore erupted in mass protests based on the brutal murder of Freddie Gray by police. Devin Allen used to be there, and his iconic photos of the Baltimore uprising become a viral sensation.

In these stunning photographs, Allen documents the uprising as he strives to capture the lifetime of his city and the individuals who live there. Every photo reveals the personality, good looks, and spirit of Baltimore and its other folks, as his camera complicates popular ideas concerning the “ghetto.”

Allen’s camera finds hope and good looks doing battle against a system that sows desperation and fear, and above all, resistance, to the unrelenting pressures of racism and poverty in a twenty-first-century American city.
