The Makeshift City is compiled of photographs made in and around Atlanta, Georgia.The city of Atlanta is currently in the midst of a seismic shift of population growth, real estate development and economic disparity that follows decades of systemic racism and Jim Crow policies that have plagued the American South since the Civil War. Atlanta is a city that has been built and destroyed several times over, leaving behind comparatively few traces of its own past despite its status as the cradle of the Civil Rights Movement and a progressive bubble amidst a rural and mostly conservative part of the country. As the city continues to struggle against the backdrop of history, it seeks to rebrand itself as a global mecca for new wealth, Hollywood production and opportunity.
