In this powerful conversation, Jersey City photographer Duquann Sweeney shares his philosophy that photography is fundamentally an act of care. From his Bergen Lafayette neighborhood, Duquann has spent years documenting the dignity, joy, and everyday beauty of his community through striking black and white portraits. We explore his recent work honored by the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy, the Royal Men Foundation he founded, and his collaboration on the WE'RE HERE Project documenting hidden histories. Duquann challenges us to hold onto three essential elements: history, love, and imagination.
