Alum Andrea Star Reese PJ'08 and Photojournalism Chair Alison Morley in dialogue at the New York Public LIbrary Schwartzman Building.

Photographer Andrea Star Reese and Alison Morley, Director of Photography and Photojournalism at the International Center of Photography (ICP), who served as photo editor for Urban Cave discuss the development of this long-term and challenging project as they share images from the book with the audience. 

Urban Cave originally began as a photo essay taking  viewers into the life of a community of unsheltered homeless people who lived for more than a decade in a train tunnel under the streets of Harlem. It is a story about the resilience and humanity of people who live unsheltered on the other side of conventional society. The images are in response to the beauty of a place, a people, and the dignity, determination, and perseverance reflected in their culture.

Urban Cave filled  with Reese's color photographs and an introduction by Alison Morley is published by FotoEvidence Press, a publisher of documentary photography focused on social justice and human rights.
