The FotoVisura Annual: A Night Projection

THE FOTOVISURA ANNUAL:
DIALOGUE & QUIET CONVERSATIONS

Sunday, September 22 – 7.30PM
Photoville Beergarden



Andrea Gjestvang


Featuring Jenn Ackerman, Poulomi Basu, Alan Charlesworth, Christopher Gregory, Emer Gillespie, Andrea Gjestvang, Elizabeth D. Herman, Nicolas Janowski, Karolina Jonderko, Sara Naomi Lewkowicz, Diana Markosian, Florian Müller, Jashim Salam, and Fabian Weiss.

Curated by Sam Barzilay and Graham Letorney
Presented by The FotoVisura Pavilion



Photography, as a mode of communication, has a particular quality of addressing us without speaking down to us. The distance between viewer and subject can be reconciled with the intimacy of studying and inspecting each detail of a photograph. This exhibition seeks to inspire dialogue & quiet conversations with the viewer, transcending cultural and political boundaries.

The exhibition Dialog & Quiet Conversations consists of 12 stories selected from the top finalists of the most recent FotoVisura Grant. Each project presents an intimate account that is either personal to the photographer or so important to society that he or she was driven to act with the hopes of bringing awareness to the cause and advocating for change.

FotoVisura inc. is a creative firm dedicated to publishing, production, design, consultations, and online media. Sponsored by the Viso Lizardi family, FV Inc. launched The FotoVisura Pavilion in 2009—a physical space dedicated to exhibitions and panel discussions on photography worldwide.

Question Bridge: Black males

Question Bridge: Black males

Thursday, September 26 – 7PM
Photoville Beergarden


Created by Chris Johnson, Hank Willis Thomas, Bayeté Ross Smith, Kamal Sinclair

Curated by Bayeté Ross Smith

Presented by Question Bridge




Question Bridge: Black Males opens a window onto the complex and often unspoken dialogue among Black men, creating an intimate and essentially genuine experience for viewers and subjects. This project brings the full spectrum of what it means to be “black” and “male” in America to the forefront. “Blackness” ceases to be a simple, monochromatic concept.

By creating an identity container (e.g. “Black” and “Male”), then creating a way of releasing the diversity of identities and thought within that container, we can break the container. Question Bridge strives to make it more difficult to say, “Black Males are___.” If we succeed in deconstructing stereotypes about arguably the most opaque and feared demographic in America, then the Question Bridge model can work to overcome limiting assumptions about any demographic, therefore moving the needle on implicit bias.
