Dissent & Dissonance
Bursting into being in September of 2011, the Occupy Wall Street movement flashed across the globe with a message of anti-capitalism, anarchism, and direct action against the status quo.
Re-igniting radical discourse and dissent, Occupy galvanized movements across the entire spectrum of modern dissent: anti-capitalism, climate justice, home foreclosure, education, and labor rights to name just a few.
Focusing on the year 2012, I traveled over 15,000 miles with Occupiers and documented their struggles in New York, Chicago, Tampa, and other sites across the United States.
