Description
Brooklyn, The City Within showcases Brooklyn as one of the most dynamic and ethnically diverse places on the planet. It's estimated that one in every eight US families had relatives pass through Brooklyn when settling in the country. Over the past five years, Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb have captured a profound and vibrant portrait of this New York City borough through their photography.
Alex Webb has explored every corner of the borough, documenting its tremendous diversity, in a style that echoes his work from the past forty years, where he travelled the world to photograph various cultures. This is where he now calls home. In contrast, Rebecca Norris Webb focused on "the city within the city within the city," particularly the green heart of Brooklyn— the Botanic Garden, Greenwood Cemetery, and Prospect Park. These spaces are where Brooklynites from all backgrounds intersect as they seek solace.
Together, their photographs in Brooklyn, The City Within tell a larger American story, touching on themes of immigration, identity, and home.

Alex Webb has published more than fifteen books, including Memory City (2014, with Rebecca Norris Webb), La Calle: Photographs from Mexico (Aperture, 2016), as well as a survey of his color work, The Suffering of Light (Aperture, 2011). Webb became a full member of Magnum Photos in 1979. His work has been shown widely, and he has received numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2007. Rebecca Norris Webb, originally a poet, often explores the complicated relationship between people and the natural world in her seven books, including The Glass Between Us (2006), Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba (2009, with Alex Webb), and My Dakota (2012). A 2019 NEA grant recipient, she has exhibited at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among other museums. Sean Corcoran is the curator of prints and photographs at the Museum of the City of New York and has written extensively on photography, including essays for Elliott Erwitt: At Home and Around the World (Aperture, 2016), and I See a City: Todd Webb's New York (2017).
