Mirror Magazine
is a collaborative-multimedia project to document urban inequality in New York City.
The significance of “mirror” comes from the power of the camera to mirror reality back to us in a way we haven’t seen it before.
By capturing New York City through the camera and with a pointed focus, we can make clear to those with the power to make change what part of the bigger picture they’re missing.
The project is the fruit of Nolen Phya, a photographer, urban planner and life long New Yorker. It is part of his thesis to complete his Masters of City Planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
