This special exhibition of photographs by Susan Webb explores the connection between two great cities Detroit, Michigan, and the ancient site of Petra in modern Jordan. Though separated by hundreds of years and thousands of miles, the same achievements and challenges are recorded in their ruins. The photographs juxtapose images of urban decay with ancient remains. As these evocative photographs also suggest, it is not just the physical remains of the cities that invite comparison but the struggles of the inhabitants as well. The exhibition will run from June 30 to July 21, 2013.
