Reveal Your Detroit: An Intimate Look at a Great American City: Painted Turtle

In partnership with forty-five community organizations, the Detroit Institute of Arts' 2012 community photography project Reveal Your Detroit offered city residents the chance to capture people, places, and things that make their lives in Detroit distinctive, inspired by the questions "what does your Detroit look like?" and "how do you want others to see it?" In the final display, over 1,700 images rotated across 60 digital photo frames, from a selection of over 10,000 submitted. For this volume, author Bradford Frost selected 192 images from the exhibit to showcase the perspectives of hundreds of residents and the places they presented, from the gritty to the sublime.
