Fourteen young photographers were charged with capturing the world around
them during an eight week period of Summer 2006. Energized by the
courageous and brilliant photographic work of Jack T. Franklin, Shootout
proclaims the significance of contemporary history-making through the lens
and spirits of a revolutionary generation of artists of African descent. The
exhibition recognizes the significance of documenting the extraordinary and
simplistic stories of the African Diaspora in the 21st century.
