South Brooklyn Heroes
In the early days of the pandemic lockdown in Southern Brooklyn, the Rathkopfs documented the experiences of over 100 volunteers helping mutual aid groups through genuine portraits and interviews. This impactful project emphasizes community strength and was featured in prominent platforms, including a public art exhibition on LINKNYC digital kiosks throughout NYC, the Smithsonian Institute's “VACCINES AND US” initiative, and Photoville in 2021 and 2022.
The Rathkopfs are planning a 2025, 5-year anniversary retrospective exhibition.
