Flint: the most violent city in the nation, a failed city, an urban wasteland. These are the headlines that have defined Flint, but they don’t tell the whole story.
“Welcome to Flint,” is a collaborative project by photographers Juan Madrid and Brett Carlsen.
The two New York-based artists travel on and off to Michigan, trying to capture the city of Flint. Current State’s Emanuele Berry spoke to the pair about their project.
