In April 2018, I began documenting grassroots community action in response to the-social problems associated with poverty — from street crime and drug addiction to gun violence. In this series, which is part of a long-term urban project I started in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 2012, I have been following the efforts of a local organization called-ManUp Inc. Members use the Egyptian word “hotep,” which means “to be at peace,” to greet people in their community.
