Photographic Reflections: Documenting Community

Exhibition Reception

Saturday, October 26 - 5:00PM to 7:00PM
UW-Milwaukee, Union Art Gallery

While photography has a unique way of capturing small glimpses into reality, it is the recontextualization of these unrelated moments that offer new consequent narratives. Because these images present self-reflections as well as distinctions, the analysis of the dichotomies grants the viewer opportunities for growth. By allowing the viewer to expand an understanding of the human existence they can in turn gain empathy and understanding.




Photographic Reflections explores representations of diverse communities throughout the United States and Mexico by internationally renowned photographers Darcy Padilla, Alejandro Cartagena and Justine Kurland.


This exhibition is cosponsored in part by the Union Art Gallery, the SPE Midwest 2019 Conference "Communities, Collaborations and Collectives", the UWM Student Photography Club-FOCUS and Peck School of the Arts.
