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.
