Kyne photographs as a means understanding so-called reality, wondering what lies outside of the environment that she can detect with her own limited human biology. Ultimately, Kyne produces a photography of nature that does not rely on the nature genre, or even on the subject matter of nature for engagement or visual enjoyment, but instead examines the possibilities in the not-sensed and the imagined. A Crack In The World contains fresh and elegant, yet layered and technically complex photographs that inspire empathy for all beings, and the planet that sustains them. An accompanying essay by Susan Griffin examines the artistic and theoretical implications of this deceptively simple body of work.Barbara Kyne is an artist based in Oakland, California. Her work has been shown at SF Camerawork, Photo Center NW, the Trition Museum of Art, The Kala Institute, and the Bedford Gallery, and is featured in many contemporary photography books and publications.

They are images of loss and survival, fragments and lives, architecture and skin, surfaces and invisible things, like radiation. Exposure is at the core of Slavik's project: exposure to and exposures made from radiation, to the sun, to light, to history, and exposures made from radiation, the sun, light, and history, including historical artifacts from the Peace Memorial Museum’s collection.

Maj’s project is the largest record documenting the experiences of incarcerated women in Afghanistan produced to date. Her hauntingly beautiful, compassionate photographs, along with the accompanying personal stories of the inmates, are gathered together in her first monograph. The majority of the prisoners Maj documented were incarcerated for what are known in Afghanistan as “moral crimes,” accused of running away from forced marriages, being sold into prostitution, domestic slavery, physical violence generally conducted by their husbands, and rape and involuntary pregnancy. Being an independent female photographer enabled Maj to gain extraordinary access to her subjects with whom she established rapport and trust, visiting with many of the incarcerated women featured in the book over the course of multiple visits. Together, the voices in Almond Garden are a testimony to the human rights abuses many Afghan women continue to endure, and a call to action for the much-needed support in the battle for women’s rights in Afghanistan from the international community.

For three months, he spent 6 to 8 hours a day, 5 to 6 days a week in the darkroom, editing and printing more than 140 photographs, many of which had never been printed before. The images documented Pride marches that took place during the height of another health crisis, the AIDS epidemic, the insidious and devastating disease that ravaged the LGBTQ+ community. The parallels between the two health crises became clear as news reports on the pandemic unfolded, revealing the same failures of government repeating themselves yet again. The marches also affirmed that healthcare, including treatment for people with HIV/AIDS, is a right. They demanded an end to the stigma and criminalization of HIV, as well as a more effective response from medical and government agencies and officials who fail to provide funding for research on medical treatment or offer legal, housing, and medical services to people with limited access. This demonstration of solidarity strengthened the sense of community and helped protect the rights earned from the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969 and the first NYC Pride March, also known as the Christopher Street Liberation Day March, which took place on June 28, 1970, one year after the Stonewall Rebellion."Archive/Journal: 1985-1995/2001" is a two-volume title in a slipcase bringing together two related bodies of work: Volume 1, "Archive 1985-1995," reproduces approximately 80 black-and-white photographs made of the NYC Pride marches during the height of the AIDS epidemic from 1985 to 1995. The photographs are accompanied by timelines, ephemera, newspaper articles, etc., and essays by Miss Rosen and Theodore Zinn, to expand the political, social, and historical understanding of the culture, activism, and milieu of the LGBTQ+ community. Volume 2: "Journal: 1985-2001" focuses on personal narratives culled from Cianni's journals, and visual stories of lovers and friends who were living with or who died from AIDS, reflecting on his journey with HIV and his experience with activism surrounding HIV/AIDS from the same period as the Pride photographs.Vincent Cianni is a documentary photographer, educator, and activist who explores social justice through image, text, and audio.
