Care Everywhere: Photography and Print as a Lens on Care
September 21, 2024–January 5, 2025
This exhibition invites viewers to look beyond stereotypical images of caregiving by women and individuals assigned female at birth in an effort to expand our understanding of care. What do we assume that care looks like? How does care manifest beyond those assumptions? How can a museum be a place of care? Care is complex–it manifests in a variety of forms, including among family, within friendships, as care for oneself, as spiritual practice, and in holding space for grief. Including works by John Cage, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Nan Goldin, Tommy Kha, and Zora J. Murff, this exhibition emphasizes that care is everywhere, scattered all around us—if we care to notice–by highlighting the humanity that is evident in works of art.
This exhibition is organized by Betsy Subiros, class of 2025, and is supported by the Hoene Hoy Photography Fund.
