Holiday 390 The Detroit Issue

A city embodying urban farming. Sam Rock and Emmanuelle Alt offer a double tribute to David Cronenberg

/ Holiday 390 The Detroit Issue: the issue contributions

Detroit is no longer the capital of the car industry but a city that embodies the revival of urban farming. Even so, its nickname, Motor City, remains an apt description of its present-day reality as the city thrumming with idiosyncratic tales and legendary songs, as described in this issue by Arthur Dreyfus’s sprawling travelog, Rebekah Farrugia’s saga of Detroit’s women MCs, Marc Zisman’s account of Motown’s milestones and a rare interview with local house-music legend Moodymann. This in the Holiday 390 The Detroit Issue.

Featured photographers in the Holiday 390 The Detroit Issue are – among many others – Chris Rhodes, Adam Peter, Jonathan Frantini and Olivier Kervern, who wandered through the streets questioning enduring perceptions of the city to fashion unique new images.

/ Holiday magazine was founded in 1946 and relaunched in 2014

Between 1946 and 1977, Holiday was one of the most interesting magazines in the United States. Renowned for its bold layout, and ambitious choice of photographers, Holiday portrayed the world like no other periodical. The vision was simple. Send a writer and photographer to a specific location and ask them to capture their vision of the place.
