Lens with a Conscience
March 14 - September 20
These are troubled times. How do we know? In large part, we know because we’ve seen troubling things on television or internet video. These media outlets are so pervasive in our daily lives that they conduct (and filter) much of our understanding about what happens outside our immediate surroundings. Lens with a Conscience addresses the ubiquity of video imagery. The works selected for this exhibition don’t merely address issues of significant social and political concern; they present their subjects in new ways. They recast what we see and hear in order to lead us to new experiences and reactions that beyond those resulting from established modes of journalism, documentary, and narrative filmmaking.
