The Human Atlas project is a research-based, interdisciplinary exploration of people from a specified geography, in this case, Detroit. A carefully curated group of experts has nominated individuals who are championing change and driving social impact in all its forms: from public servants to entrepreneurs, from non-profit leaders and activists to artists and scientists. The project then maps these remarkable people through portraits, app-based oral histories, info-graphic mapping and ancestral DNA. Human Atlas takes on many forms, but it always begins as a limited edition book and an interactive exhibition.
