Occupy Participants - Identify Photos in 2011 Archive
In October 2011, I began photographing Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park. Over the next eight months, I traveled across the United States photographing 18 Occupy communities. Link to the archives is in the text bellow.
In October 2011, I began photographing Occupy Wall Street at Zuccotti Park. Over the next eight months, I traveled across the United States photographing18 Occupy communities.
I focused not only on demonstrations, but on the people and everyday life inside the movement—tents, kitchens, libraries, meetings, handmade signs and conversations.
As I traveled, I carried prints from one encampment to another, where they were displayed and shared among participants.
Fifteen years later, I’ve completed the photographic archive and made it publicly available:
occupywallstreetphotos.org
If you were part of Occupy—or recognize yourself or someone else in the photographs—I’d especially like to hear from you. Your names, memories and context can help add to the historical record.
