Brooklyn native Jamel Shabazz is considered one of the most influential and important photographers of the late 20th century. Called the Gordon Parks of his era, Shabazz’s timeless imagery represents the visual voice of a people and serves as a powerful tool towards education and empowerment. His highly acclaimed books: Back In The Days, A Time Before Crack and Seconds Of My Life, all serve as “visual diaries” to an incomparable body of work that dates back to the 70s. This season, Sedgwick & Cedar team up with the legendary photographer to bring us 24" x 12" posters of two of his most iconic photographs. Each of these posters is limited to only 500 copies worldwide and re-prints are not expected.
