On behalf of the International Center of Photography, we invite you to join us on September 24, 2024 at 7:00 PM EST to celebrate the opening of We are Here: Scenes from the Streets.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
We Are Here: Scenes from the Streets, on view at ICP this fall, will spotlight contemporary street photography from over 30 international iconic street photographers, including Devin Allen, Shoichi Aoki, Farnaz Damnabi, Debrani Das, Romuald Hazoumè, Youcef Krache, Josué Rivas, Randa Shaath, Jamel Shabazz, Trevor Stuurman, Alexey Titarenko, and Nontsikelelo Veleko.
This exhibition uniquely highlights the diverse perspectives and techniques that define modern street photographers and emphasizes the role of the streets as a canvas for illustrating change. Each photograph offers a view into cultural and personal narratives, showcasing a world where every street corner tells a story.
The work of these intergenerational and geographically disparate artists encourages an expansive re-viewing of "street photography." It opens up important discussions on how “the street” and public space are places of community, joy, self-expression, advocacy, changing landscapes, and social dynamics as seen through the street photographer's lens.
This exhibition is curated by Guest Curator Isolde Brielmaier, with Noa Wynn, Independent Curatorial Assistant.
