The late Ivan Allen once said, “The City of Atalanta has always had a good spirit.” It’s arguably the cultural epicentre of America’s south – a place where that good spirit manifests in its vibrant music and visual arts scene. But in 2020, attention fell to stories of injustice, protest, and politics.

Photographer Lynsey Weatherspoon lives in Atlanta and played a huge part in capturing the stories that carried Atlanta through 2020. From Black Lives Matter to Georgia’s part in the presidential election, Lynsey’s striking black and white photos told a story that was both timeless and undeniably modern.
