"This is summer of 2015" by Julien Magre

With On That Day, photographers are invited to tell the story behind one of their photographs. Today, photographer Julien Magre remembers a Swedish summer. 

Contact High: the history of hip-hop in photography

The International Center of Photography in New York inaugurates its new Lower East Side location with CONTACT HIGH: A Visual History of Hip-Hop. The exhibition, based on Vikki Tobak’s eponymous book published in 2018, documents the explosion of hip-hop in the United States through a series of iconic portraits. These original images break with the stereotypes of a raucous, disorderly culture.

In conjunction with the exhibit René Burri, l’Explosion du Regard which took place at the Musée de l'Elysée (suspended due to the Covid-19 epidemic), Blind deciphers an image from the multifaceted body of work of the Swiss photojournalist, whose little-known diversity is featured here.

During this trying time, Blind wishes to support photographic creation and invites photographers to submit series created while self-isolating.
