Good to see Amouzou in the mix here. An apt visual metaphor indeed. Her exhibition at Autograph stayed with me. So well executed. As for Parks, well he was the master of his time whose relevance will extend beyond ours.
I heard of Gordon Park years ago from Shaft, but then to my surprise learned of his MASSIVE body of work as a photographer which I think are so apt for us today.

I'm loving your response Amar!

So many favourites. I wrote a little something about him a while back. https://www.instagram.com/p/CBQOIUbnBm6/

I learnt so much from this post. Thanks for signposting Daniel Mebarek’s map for the Photographers Green Book. Readers can listen to a chat I had with its founder Jay Simple here https://pod.link/1469562537/episode/4187e53a0c52cb3face405a3c6eda379
