Thank you to everyone who joined us this past Saturday for our opening reception for this year’s Picturing Resistance exhibition, as well as juror Ken Light‘s With These Hands exhibition in Gallery 4! Picturing Resistance captures the essence of decades of protests and demonstrations, showcasing how the collective voice of the people has the power to incite powerful political changes.
Emerging in a climate where the exploitation of American farmworkers, notably children, has made headlines in recent months, With These Hands arrives as a poignant reminder. Ken’s evocative photographs, taken in the 1970s, serve as an undeniable testament that the pervasive issue of child labor exploitation has plagued the nation for decades.
Both exhibitions are open to view in Gallery 4 at HD South in Gilbert’s Heritage District until September 30th, so there is still plenty of time to take a look before we transition to our next exhibition. In the meantime, have a look at a few moments from the opening reception!
Art Intersection is hosting a three-session Street Photography Workshop with Neil Miller this September, which will provide an excellent foundation for those inspired by Picturing Resistance and With These Hands to make protest and documentary photographs of their own!
Thank you to everyone who attended the opening reception for our Picturing Resistance exhibition this past Saturday, where we had the pleasure of having author and performer Ada McCartney read selections of her own poems, as well as from Diane di Prima’s Revolutionary Letters in the passionate spirit of the images displayed on the walls in this exhibition.
Picturing Resistance will run until October 22nd, so there is still plenty of time to drop by and see the exhibition. In the meantime, have a look at a few moments from the opening reception!
In addition to selecting the work featured the Picturing Resistance exhibition, Ken Light has images from his book, Midnight la Frontera, on display in Ryan Gallery. These images, while captured between 1983 and 1987 while he rode along with U.S. Border Patrol agents, depict the same inhumane treatment migrants face today at our border. Both Picturing Resistance and Midnight La Frontera will be available to view at Art Intersection until October 22nd.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for the Opening Reception of Light Sensitive 2018! We loved seeing so many friendly faces, both familiar and fresh. Thanks for helping us celebrate this beautiful exhibition!
