Alan Wieder, a street photographer and oral historian, shares his remarkable journey of documenting King School Park in Portland over four years. He began this project amid protests in 2020, capturing not just images but the deep relationships he forged with community members, especially elders like Rosie and Carl. The park, a symbol of resilience, stands as a refuge for those displaced by gentrification.
