Detroit, Michigan: known for it’s hulking, dilapidated skyline and skeletons of automobile factories left to rot. The ghosts of Motown lurk on street corners, and its suburbs that once housed 2 million people have witnessed a population that has steadily declined. “There’s no denying the ‘Detroit Decline’ but I was curious to find the underbelly, what makes Detroit tick and how youth culture thrives,” says Mollie Mills. “What you can’t see but truly feel never left, is it’s essence.” That essence is hidden in the dance studios of 8 Mile and in backstreet bars that house a sparkling voguing culture.
