"Jamel Shabazz: Albums--presented in a format that allows viewers to experience how his subjects might have first encountered his work--are testament both to these personal rituals and histories and to the improvisational collectives of Black and brown faces that Shabazz so carefully created and preserved, persisting in spite of their precarity.--Peter L'Official ""The Atlantic"" Over the years, Shabazz's photo albums became restorative balms, creating a space where he could spend time with photographs that reflect love, humanity and innocence, giving him hope that helped sustain his journey, as well as honor the lives and legacies of those no longer with us.--Sara Rosen ""Animal"""
