Dek Unu Magazine - Chuck Avery

Chuck Avery confronts one of the most significant and effective bamboozles in centuries of American history, the revision and suppression of unionism and labor history. By making current photographs of sites of conflict between workers and owners, labor and big money, Avery exposes touchpoints from the suppressed, manipulated, and mostly forgotten history of unionism. Refusing to forget, he says, “These days especially I want to unearth buried truths and question false mythologies. Post-truth can only be fought with facts and information. So here I am, practicing my version of documentary landscape. My cameras might not be the loudest voices, but they have plenty to say.“
