Description

These Americans is a series of photographs depicting individuals who attended the January 21, 2017 Women’s March on Washington DC. What began as an internet post after the election of Donald J. Trump, led to over 5 Million people attending marches worldwide; over 500,000 in Washington, D.C. alone. In a polarized America, this day unified demonstrators, gave a voice to those who felt voiceless and fueled what many are calling the ‘Resistance.’ “I want us to really know us.” Mercedes Jelinek produced these portraits to evoke dialogue about our shared humanity and identity. Audiences are invited to study each figure closely, to recognize similarities and make connections with the strangers and interactions portrayed within each photograph.
