Bruce Davidson, Miranda Barnes, Sohrab Hura and more on how photographs can represent solidarity—from demonstrations of unity in the face of adversity and oppression, to moments of community and connection.

How can photographs represent solidarity? From Bruce Davidson’s iconic images of the Civil Right Movement to Richie Shazam’s coverage of the massive Black Trans Lives Matter march in Brooklyn last month, the act of solidarity can be seen in these demonstrations of unity in the face of adversity and oppression. But solidarity is also captured in moments of community and connection, as seen in the work of Chien-Chi Chang and Denise Stephanie.

The creepiness level of dolls can vary. A few things that we think increase the creepiness level include: them in pieces, them missing parts, them talking, them haunting your dreams, and them murdering you in your sleep. While these photographs of doll factories between 1931 and 1955 only feature the first two, we’re pretty sure that after looking at them we won’t sleep peacefully this weekend.

Nadav Kander began a three year survey of secret Soviet scientific cities and missile test sites when he learned of the existence of two “closed” cities on the border between Kazakhstan and Russia that tickled his curiosity for secrecy and his interest in the aesthetics of destruction. This fascination then took him from East Kazakhstan to the desolated landscapes of the Aral Sea. The restricted military zones of Priozersk and Kurtchatov did not appear on any map…

Homo sapiens first appeared in the nearly 200,000 years ago in Ethiopia. Their footprints have vanished, their accomplishments turned to dust—but one thing that survived them is their stewardship of the earth. But with the advent of European exploration into the Western Hemisphere, the seeds of climate change were planted, taking root during the Industrial Revolution, and progressing at a cataclysmic rate that now poses an existential threat to life as we know it. For Trump Revolution: Climate Crisis, the second installment in the Bronx Documentary Center’s series exploring the impact of the Presidency of Donald Trump, curators Michael Kamber and Cynthia Rivera explore how the 45th President of the United States has overturned decades of environmental policy in just a few year.

Iris Wu’s zine in the calm of your arms is a love song. And like all love songs, there is a wide spectrum of emotions exposed within; passion and joy, revelation and restraint, uncertainty, and of course, pain. In form and content, in the calm of your arm

There are road trips and then there are transformative journeys that imprint on your soul and open your eyes to new vistas filled with strange beauty. Photographer Sebastian Rogowski has created a visual diary of his travels through Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan and the result is his self-published monograph, Suicidal Birds. The work includes stark landscapes with luminous blue lakes, mountains that render everything else insignificant — human life simply a momentary visitor in the histories of their existence, and totems and architecture that add to the surreal nature of these lands. There is a melancholy beauty in these photographs that speak to place, but also offer an unspoken internal narration of self.

When the Russian photographer Natalia Ershova was in school, working on her journalism degree, she fell ill. As a result, she was unable to leave home for two months.

Street photographer Harvey Stein’s lifelong love affair with Coney Island began the first time he entered Brooklyn’s famed seaside playground. It was the late 1950s, and he was 14 years old. “I didn’t like New York, it was too big, too noisy, hot and dirt

It’s not often that you get to meet a soldier who is also a photographer and a dedicated film shooter. I had the great pleasure of meeting Christian K. Lee and his work during the Annenberg/Photoville virtual portfolio reviews and much of our time was spent waxing rhapsodic about film cameras. In his free time, when he is not serving as a logistics officer in the Army, Christian’s practice considers communities in central Texas. Recently during Covid 19, he turned his camera towards high school seniors. As he states,”The pinnacle of the school year for many High School Seniors is Prom. In preparation some bought their outfits months in advance waiting for the opportunity to wear it to the highly anticipated event. Due to COVID-19 concerns the class of 2020 weren’t able to take part in it.” He packed up his cameras and made his rounds to photograph students in their evening finest, if only for a moment and memory of what might have been.
