To be photographed\, or captured\, means to be seen in a certain way: by the photographer\, the mechanical eye\, the viewers of the image\, and the economic and social systems in which the photograph (and its photographed subjects) will circulate and be evaluated. Portraits hold a unique form of power\, and can exist in various photographic languages\; from ID cards to institutional archives\, from museum collections to family albums. Portraits can be instrumental or conceptual\, they can convey fragmented and complex identities\, or arrest all other possible meanings by offering a single interpretation to one’s face and environment.\nThis show is curious about the conversations and connections enabled by portraiture\, suggesting that the photographer and mechanical eye can inhabit and further problematize such limitations and photographic histories or undo them by offering a view rooted in compassion and understanding. In that sense\, this show suggests that the photograph can enable a dialog anchored in empathy and acceptance.\nBack to Show page HERE.\nTickets\nAdmission is FREE. Please RSVP below.
