Postcards from Detroit
Ed.’s note: The following are photographs of some of the 19th century mansions in Brush Park, in downtown Detroit. In recent years, the area has undergone some revitalization.

They are taken from a series called “Bambis and Dollhouses,” by Cibele Vieira, a Brazilian-born photographer now living in Bushwick.

In New York in the ‘90s, I’d found these communities at techno parties downtown, escaping the New Jersey suburb where I’d lived as a teen and the Morningside Heights dorms where I’d spent my years at Columbia.
