„You might have killed the dreamer, but you can’t kill the dream.“ (American civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton, March on Washington, August 28, 2020) Three months earlier. May 28, 2020, Washington, D.C. a series of protests following the killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black American man, who was killed on May 25 in Minneapolis, Minnesota during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill. Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes 46 seconds. While George Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, he is repeatedly saying „I can’t breathe“. Between May and November 2020, I’ve spent almost every free minute on this project. I’ve listened and learned from DC’s protests. For over three months, I was visiting over 35 events at different locations across the entire District to compile a mosaic composed of dozens, if not hundreds micro-stories. Today, another three months later, it has become reality: my debut photo book “you can’t kill the dream – 100 days of peaceful protest”. The essence of what I saw during these first 100 days of protests in Washington, D.C. I want to highlight in one simple message: These protests in Washington, D.C. have been mostly peaceful. This summer I saw solidarity and countless acts of care and fellowship in a way I’ve never seen before. And if we continue to listen. Really listen. And be prepared to be uncomfortable and sit with that discomfort for a while we’ll take the first essential steps to create a lasting positive change in our society. This message carried by some of my captures to help build a visual narrative is my way to show appreciation to those who are fighting for that positive change. To all peaceful protesters out there getting in good trouble. It ain’t over!
