Reservoir – In-Person Exhibition Opening Reception, RSVP

About

A Photographic Generator by LACP

Incubation and mentorship, Feb-Oct 2025
Exhibition and public programs, Jan-Mar 2026

Reservoir, a new photographic generator by LACP, offers a shared repository of responses to the global crisis of loneliness through visual storytelling. Over 40 artists and mentors that represent a wide array of geographies, approaches, ages, nationalities and lived experiences, create new work and creative response that will be featured in a publication and traveling exhibition that will launch at LACP’s DTLA gallery.

Much like reservoirs regulate the flow and storage of water, and therefore provide a sense of stability for their communities, this invitation-only collaborative project incubates new approaches through creative practice, research and engagement.
