James "dirtykics" Dickerson
To me, a photograph is a sibling of time and is meant to preserve the grains of our history. With a camera in my hands, I hold life through a lens as a documentary photographer. A photograph can change everything you understand about yourself. Be it an image of family from the 1980s or an image of a departed stranger requested by their family for sentimental value, these moments influence my next frame. Fueled by a mix of duty and obsession, my work is made of the essence of our communities.
James "dirtykics" Dickerson is a street photographer focusing on Black Americans living in the Central City in Toledo, Ohio. Beginning around 2016, he started documenting his encounters on Toledo streets. These encounters were spontaneous, and he approached them with a listen first, photograph second mentality. His hope is that this collection of photographs encourages privileged eyes to check their biases about the communities that surround them. James has shown work at River House Arts, Gathered Glassblowing Studio, Toledo School for the Arts, and Communica. His work has been published in Harper's Bazaar, the New York Times, and by Columbia University and The Ohio State University. As a self-taught photographer, he has learned that once you see life through a camera lens, it changes everything you understand about yourself and others.
Organized by the Toledo Museum of Art as part of the Robert C. and Susan Savage Community Gallery which operates as a catalyst of creativity, mentorship and opportunity while fostering mutually enriching relationships with local, regional, and national artists with an emphasis on community engagement.
