'Pieces of a Man' brings together 25 years of street photographs by
noted American photographer Jamel Shabazz."Beginning in Brooklyn's
tight-knit neighborhoods, including his own, Jamel Shabazz captured a
true reflection of people of color now revered as a form of social
commentary. His work resonates around the world because it is
authentic. He has the authority to speak for us and yet he maintains
genuine humility and respect for his people. From the streets of
Brooklyn to Europe to Africa, Jamel's work is inclusive and
compassionate without imposing his views on how people should represent
themselves. He gives his subjects control over their own image, and in
that you see the dignity that he sees in them; turning everyday people
into icons. While some celebrate an era or style, Jamel reminds us to
celebrate the people, not just the image."
