JEAN-PIERRE LAFFONT: GANGS AND PROTESTS
February 2nd – March 18th, 2023
Opening Reception Feb 2nd, 6PM – 8 PM
“During the sixties and seventies, New York City was a somber place, fascinating and frightening at the same time. It was nicknamed “Fear City”, plagued by crime, drugs, prostitution and corruption. Jean-Pierre Laffont slipped into this city with ease and without greed or prejudice. As a news reporter, he had the audacity to intermingle with these different communities whose demands would powerfully underline the protest movements during these two decades.”
