Detropia

Friday, September 7, 2012 - Thursday, January 17, 2013

Back by popular demand!

In 1930, Detroit was the fastest-growing American city; today, it’s the fastest-shrinking one, its job-base decimated and its population only half what it was 50 years ago. A lyrical and exquisitely shot meditation on abandonment, decay and unexpected renewal, Ewing and Grady’s (Jesus Camp, 12th and Delaware) latest captures a radically downsized city scrambling to reinvent itself.
