Literature:

Lincoln Clarkes, Heroines, Vancouver, 2002, cover.

Note:

These photographs are from the Heroines series produced with female addicts in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside from 1996 to 2001. Heroines created a major storm of controversy by focusing attention on the formerly ignored social tragedies of prostitution and drug addiction in Canada's otherwise most beautiful city. The series garnered hundreds of media reports from across Canada and internationally, including the BBC, UK and the Los Angeles Times. Two multiple award winning documentaries about Clarkes and this photographic series were produced in 2000 and 2011. Heroines has been referenced in countless sociological studies by major academic institutions, and was recently rediscovered and published online worldwide by VICE, the Daily Mail, the Huffington Post, and other prominent media outlets.
