125th: Time in Harlem examines one of America’s great “main streets” during a time of profound transition as Harlem confronts questions of urban flux, gentrification and the loss of cultural memory. Made between 2008-2012, the large format color images powerfully evoke the fragile beauty of Harlem’s streets in the wake of the global financial crisis. Essays by Edward Hillel and noted photography historian, Vicki Goldberg, plus a detailed timeline of 125th’s development by Jonathan Gil (author of Harlem: The Four Hundred Year History from Dutch Village to Capital of Black America) contextualize the images in Harlem’s rich history and present day moment.
