This site complements the exhibition The City Lost and Found, which explores how photographers, artists, filmmakers, planners, and activists in the 1960s and 1970s attempted to transform the conditions of urban crisis in New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles into opportunities for civic discourse and creative expression.
Explore the site for information about key objects and the opportunity to visit some of the locations that appear in the photographs contained within the exhibition. We hope the site helps you to engage with the historic material of the exhibition as well as with the contemporary urban environments.
