Space 33 is pleased to present "This is where I live" an emerging photographers group show curated by Marc Baptiste, featuring the artwork of Akintola Hanif, Jean H.Marcelin and Jenny Baptiste. The artists in the show use the reportage tradition to document their corresponding neighborhoods."This is where I live" presents urban scenes that everyone can come across, glanceor experience daily and challenges the viewer to consider these scenes from adifferent point of view. Multidisciplinary artist, Akintola Hanif, will present two different bodies of work. On one hand he will show recent photographs documenting the lives of the people inNew Jersey and Brooklyn. He will also show "Freedom or everybody dies" a mixedmedia short that blends photography, video and music to tell the real story of hip-hop's present generation.Inspired by the culture of the West Indies, specifically his roots in Haiti, photographer Jean H. Marcelin presents images that express the colorful array of people in his Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn. His photographs capture the day to day life of real people in an honest and unforced way. His work gives voice to the growing insurgence of the voiceless. After years of working in the photography world, Jenny Baptiste decided recently totake on a camera. Her urge to do so came from the necessity to document her ever-changing neighborhood of Bed-Stui, Brooklyn. She captures the vibrancy anddifferent personalities of the people she encounters in front of her lens and turnsthese experiences in to timeless moments. Her photographs remind that the simple things in life are the most beautiful and are not to be forgotten.
