Episode 49: Isaac Scott on Documenting the Protests
Manage episode 267339923 series 2425590
Isaac Scott is a Master of Fine Arts candidate at Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University in Philadelphia where he is studying ceramics. During the recent protests in response to the murder of George Floyd, Isaac turned to photography and began documenting various scenes and instances he saw unfolding in the streets. A friend of mine tagged me in a few photos of his on Instagram that showed police officers playing basketball with protesters on a hoop set up in downtown Philadelphia. His images speak to the ferventness of our current uprising and the need we have for storytellers who live in the place they are choosing to document. The photographs show the depth of how broken our system of policing is as well as the strength and resiliency of protesters. Thank you to Isaac for coming on the pod and his willingness to share his experiences during the past 7 weeks.
Your can read the New Yorker essay about his images here and an article from his hometown of Madison, WI here. Also, read more about his ceramic work featured at The Clay Studio here.
