The Vivian Maier Photography Project

The Vivian Maier Photography Project explores the work of Vivian Maier, a prolific street photographer whose extensive, candid images of urban life were discovered posthumously. Maier, a nanny by profession, captured striking, often unnoticed moments in cities like Chicago and New York during the 1950s-1970s. Her photographs reveal an intimate, human perspective—highlighting everyday life with artistry and empathy. The project aims to study, exhibit, and preserve her work, shedding light on her talent and offering a unique glimpse into mid-20th-century street culture through her compelling, honest images.
