Revitalize: Dickinson Avenue

Revitalize: Dickinson Avenue focuses on the economic adjustments in Greenville, North Carolina. As the city’s economic structure has changed, from relying on tobacco to a booming healthcare industry, the local businesses are creating trends towards gentrification. With high poverty and advanced economic industries, a schism has occurred between meeting community needs and growth. This leaves room for echoing thoughts of gentrification. These images explore this community in its current state, as redevelopment and inequality approach. This interdisciplinary project has taken the form of photographs, moving images, postcards, and newspapers.
