Student artists Ben Tisdale and Branden Gosse present “The Roads That Divide Us” at the Lionel Rombach Gallery.
From the artists: “Tucson is a city built in a grid and its infrastructure is built for cars. This infrastructure makes it harder to move around and engage with a large part of the city.
“Tucson is a car-centric city. This infrastructure can be harmful to those without cars, including those not capable of driving or affording cars, which tends to be economically disadvantaged individuals.
“Street photographers walk where we live and document our environment. Street photographers are forced to engage with our infrastructure to take photos.”
