Overview
Through dynamic visual storytelling, United Streets de América documents communities of color at the intersection of a public health crisis, racial reckoning, and ICE raids, empowered by solidarity.
In captivating photographs, Mateo Zapata pays homage to his hometown of Chicago and the essential workers and organizers striving for survival and a more just and equitable world.
Zapata weaves commentary and interviews, interspersed throughout the images, to record one of the most pivotal years in recent history: within these pages are joy and exhaustion, warm smiles and anxieties, masked faces and fists in the air. It is a celebration of unity between communities of color and the powerful potential therein. It is a reminder that hollow gestures of solidarity mean little without sincere action behind them—action that insists on, lifts up, and asserts the humanity in ourselves and in others.
