Along The Eastern Seaboard: A History In Images – Nonfiction

Florida-based photographer Anastasia Samoylova’s Atlantic Coast retraces Berenice Abbott’s 1954 photographic journey on historic U.S. Route 1 along the Eastern Seaboard, documenting dislocation, loss, and a shifting American dream. Working in color and black and white, Samoylova ventures on her own journey to revisit those communities transformed by the interstate and the expansion of industry, commerce, and development. Moderated by Ricardo Mor, arts journalist and curator.
