Fear can be immediate and unmistakable, or so familiar that we barely recognize it. We fear the unknown, the natural world, the passage of time, the loss of people we love, and the possibility of losing ourselves.
Presented by Green Street Photo Collective in collaboration with photographer Billy Hickey, PHOBIAS brings together the work of more than sixty photographers, each offering a personal interpretation of what it means to be afraid.
First exhibited in Jamaica Plain in October 2026, the photographs formed a collective catalog of fear - sometimes unsettling, sometimes funny, often unexpectedly beautiful.
This zine preserves those images alongside the artists' own words, inviting us to consider not just what frightens us, but why.
Featuring the work of: Aakash A. Patel, Alexandra Hickey, Andrew Bailey, Angie Yu, Aryana Erfani, Bryan Liu, Charles Clarke, Charles Siwinski, Charlotte Tuminelli, Chloe Ronco, Clay Lomneth, Daniel Sarch, Danielle Amy, Daymian Mejia, Diana Lemieux, Emilio Musto, Gayle Nosal, Hector Franco, Iaritza Menjivar, Isabel Castro, Jaina Cipriano, Jake Belcher, James Traggianese, Javier Molina, Jenna Whitney, Jerry Rabinowitz, Jessie James, John Savoia, Julia Berger, Kat Donnelly, Kaylee Cataldo-Perry, Kelly Davidson, Laura Oliverio, Lizzy Montana Myers, Lucy Lu, Mari Saxon, Marissa Rossi, Matt Lambros, Meghan Cronin, Meleck Eldahshoury, Mimi Fallon, Minik Bidstrup, Muammar El Khatib, Nicholas Dorian, Nick Solarz, Paul Schwarz, Rosswell Grenier, Ryan Mayfield, Salvatore Spacco, Sandra Hickey, Sarah Blesener, Sebastian Fleming-Garcia, Steven Edson, Sydney Walsh, Syndi Pilar, Thomas Robinson, Tom Rath, Tristen Grannum, Virginia Nash, Xinbo Luo, Zach Ellis and Ziqi Zhang.
