BACKTALK (group photography exhibition)
Type: Exhibition Opportunities [View all]
Posted by: PHOTO-EMPHASIS
Deadline: Sun, July 5th, 2020
PHOTO-EMPHASIS is pleased to announce BACKTALK, our fifth juried photography exhibition.
We’re looking to exhibit fresh, diverse work by emerging and established artists.
What is missing from contemporary photographic discourse? Who is missing from contemporary photographic discourse? Now more than ever, it’s imperative to critically examine the photographic canon, to expand it to include who and what is missing. We want to see work that is irreverent, that challenges authority, and calls bullshit on prevailing notions of what photography is and should be in 2020.
BACKTALK, juried by Aaron Turner, will consist of an online exhibition hosted here on the PHOTO-EMPHASIS website, as well as a smaller physical exhibition at The Center for Photographers of Color at the University of Arkansas. (The physical exhibition will be scheduled and held at a later date, when it is safe to do so.)
