About Portrait of Buffalo II: Images of a Revitalized City
As CEPA Gallery celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is reviving one of its earliest projects: Portrait of Buffalo. First undertaken in the late 1970s, the original Portrait of Buffalo was a photographic survey that captured the city’s people and places during a period of significant upheaval. Four decades later after an economic resurgence and a growth in population, Buffalo tells a different story. Portrait of Buffalo II, focuses on the individuals, communities, and businesses that embody Buffalo in the 21st-century. In order to document this cultural change, CEPA has commissioned six talented photographers to explore Buffalo through their unique lenses.
