Photography as Activism / La fotografía como activismo: Collaborative Photography with Latine Immigrants and Communities

Join New York Now: Home exhibiting artists Diana Guerra, Cinthya Santos-Briones, and Joana Toro for a talk about their photo-based projects with Latine migrant communities in New York City. Challenging the notion of “objectivity” in photojournalism, each of these artists works in close collaboration and mutual agreement with Latine immigrant community members to create powerful images that explore gender, immigration, and other pressing social justice questions. Guerra, Santos-Briones, and Toro will be joined in conversation by three Latine immigrant activists featured in their respective photo series. Together, they'll consider the question: “How do we make/remake history by using the camera lens to portray immigrant worldviews?” Moderated by journalist Graciela Mochkofsky, Dean of the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.

New York Now: Home - A Photography Triennial at The Museum of the City of New York

The Museum of the City of New York is pleased to announce the first in an ongoing photography exhibition series. Inspired by the Museum’s landmark presentation of the same name in 2000, this series will occur every three years and engage different themes and issues of the contemporary city.

The first installment examines the idea of “Home.” At its most practical, “Home” refers to the literal places we dwell. Yet it can also stand for family, or the communities of which we choose to be a part. This vital and complex concept arises in often surprising ways in our urban context, from highly personal experiences to debates over public policy. This exhibition aims to look at how artists have responded to and interpreted these issues.

Photographing Family, Union, and the Unsettled Ghosts of Culture

“When it comes to crossing borders,” writes Diana Guerra, “there is a transformation process that goes beyond one’s identity, and rather involves new understandings of family and our homelands.” For Guerra, a NYC-based photographer whose family lives in Peru, identity dissolves into traces of family, the people who presently surround us, and the landscapes we leave behind.
