Being True: 22 Years of American Youth
Curated by Emma Reeves and Aaron Rose Being True, was produced by Nike to celebrate the 22 diverse years since the Dunk went public. It will also take the form of gallery exhibitions around the world as well as a limited edition publication. For this project, 22 contemporary photographers were asked to dig through their archives and search for images that in their minds show what it means to "be true". The resulting body of work spans more than two decades, articulating the realism of young America through personality, emotion and self-expression.
