The Lookbook: Photography for the People's Place AVL Event

The Lookbook is a photographic journal featuring galleries of our more extensive client work and projects.

 

The calendar year of 2024 has gotten off to a great start, with some exciting projects coming our way—one such project involved photographing a two-night event at the beginning of February for The People's Place. Launching from Noir Collective, The People's Place is a group of brilliant and passionate anti-racist activists in Asheville, NC, working to build a collaborative freedom movement and a multiuse physical space to cultivate a new model of neighborhood economics and cultural development.


Night One

This event started on a Wednesday night with Noshing and Nourishing, a panel discussion focused on themes of home, food, and belonging. Featuring Chicago-based interdisciplinary visual artist and cultural apprentice Alexdra Antoine, scholar, activist, and adjunct professor Dru McDaniel, and former chef turned entrepreneur Jefferson Ellison; these three powerhouses explored the spiritual value of food, how it shapes our identity, forges community bonds, and intertwines with our history and future aspirations.
