In Solidarity: Dismantling White Supremacy

Six Feet is a photo collaborative - a community of hundreds of folks around the world from diverse backgrounds. We, as three white organizers, can’t, and won’t, pretend to know how the racial terror and trauma—whether via police brutality, systemic racism, COVID-19, ICE, white supremacy or countless other methods of oppression and violence —is affecting each of you. Please just know that we see you, and we are committed to dismantling white supremacy and working for justice with you.

We firmly believe that Black lives matter and are committed to active and persistent anti-racist and anti-oppressive work. We know that photography can be (and has been) both something that advances justice and also used as a problematic tool, and we’re grateful to organizations like @authoritycollective for doing the labor of articulating some of those complexities. We urge photographers and art organizers to download Resources for Photographers and Beyond on Anti-Racism and check out the living document they are creating.

Six Feet Photography Project is here to build community through photography and provide a platform representative of this elastic, unprecedented time. But also, we are here to build a resilient future - within which we can all keep making work and continue to connect with one another. If there are ways that we can support your work, please let us know. We want to hear from you.
