(See the 2024 edition here and 2025 here). By turning its attention to documentary photography\, it suggests that documentary is a highly complex\, historically and socially contingent field of vision. The exhibition turns a documentarian lens toward life in America and invites an understanding of the collective through a kaleidoscopic view of the everyday.\nIt also asks to observe a photographic tradition that prioritizes a connection—between photographers and their subjects\, whether those are human or part of the natural world. At this moment\, which seems to have been defined by a sense of fragmentation and alienation\, documentary seems to carry a critical potential for a needed point of contact.\nBack to Show page HERE.\nTickets\nAdmission is FREE.
