Danube Revisited. The Inge Morath Truck Project

Galleries: Inge Morath Award Winners: The Downtown East Side and Slab City

This project explores communities of people living in desperate conditions in prosperous, stable countries. The Downtown East Side is located in Vancouver, Canada. The ten block radius is home to a host of social problems including extreme poverty, an AIDS rate estimated at over 30% and the leading cause of death is overdose. Slab City is a squatters community located in the Colorado Desert in California. Residents of this community live in some of the worst conditions in the USA with no access to electricity, sewage, water or waste disposal. Mental illness, addiction and poor coping strategies are the common factors that brought these people to their respective communities. The work looks at how the culture of a community can affect the relationship between stigma and perceived disadvantage.
