Mona Chalabi
New America (Emerson Collective) Fellow, 2023
For five years, Chalabi followed them all, documenting how wealth shaped their feelings, their choices, their identities, and their insecurities. But then she too found herself facing the same fears, when her mother’s sudden illness and subsequent medical bills threatened her own financial safety. Interweaving her own story with those of her interviewees and illustrated throughout with the data visualizations for which she is renowned, Ten Lives asks how much wealth it takes to be safe in the United States.
