Heroines Revisited

By Lincoln Clarkes

This new edition of HEROINES is a large format revised edition of the original HEROINES: PHOTOGRAPHY BY LINCOLN CLARKES that was released by Anvil in 2002. This new edition features over 150 portraits accompanied by four critical essays that contextualize the five-year photo project and the controversial body of work that became known as The Heroines Project. HEROINES, the book, is an epic photo documentary of the addicted women that were living and working in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside in the late '90s and early 2000s. In 1997, photographer Lincoln Clarkes turned his lens away from the world of fashion and began documenting the dire circumstances endured by the marginalized women living and working on the streets of the city's Downtown Eastside. The project includes more than 400 portraits and the photographs garnered extensive national and international media attention, which instigated immediate and profound impacts on the local community, social policies, and criminal investigations regarding missing women.
