Behind The Project
To create our “Guns in America” special report, TIME collaborated with JR, the French artist and photographer known for his murals around the world that portray complex social issues. The goal: bring together a variety of voices in search of common ground on one of the nation’s most divisive topics.
To learn more about the genesis of this project, read a letter from TIME Editor-in-Chief Edward Felsenthal. For an in-depth look at the history, culture and controversies surrounding guns in America, read the cover story.
