Description

shelia turner was a documentarian of Atlanta’s music scene and the city’s people, an educator, and a founder of Sistagraphy, a collective of Black women photographers. The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta commissioned turner and two other artists to document the neighborhood around 10th and Peachtree Streets before and during the construction of their new building. turner focused on the small businesses and especially the neighborhood’s residents, such as this weary woman on the platform of the Midtown MARTA station, perhaps on her way to or from work.
