Accra Shepp’s photographs are a testament to the social and political movement Occupy Wall Street that began in 2011 in Zuccotti Park, New York City. These portraits document the demonstrators who came together to give voice to the movement. The slogan “We are the 99%” widely resonated with people, gaining momentum online and spreading throughout financial districts across the world. These photographs highlight the intimacy shared amongst strangers and the community they formed.
