Opening of Race, Love, and Labor (an excerpt)

The Center for Photography at Woodstock (CPW) presents Race, Love, and Labor (an excerpt). Artists include Endia Beal, William Cordova, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Tommy Kha, Deana Lawson, Pixy Liao, Dawit Petros, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Xaviera Simmons, and Joanna Tam.

Race, Love, and Labor (an excerpt), is a re-presentation of a 2014 landmark exhibition of artists who completed Woodstock AIR, CPW’s acclaimed Artist-in-Residency. The original show was organized by art historian Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Lewis for the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz in 2014.

Since then, social conditions in America have been dramatically reshaped. For this reason, we believe that Race, Love, and Labor (an excerpt) invites further scrutiny of the original project. Read more here.

“What unites these images,” notes Dr. Lewis, “is an animating sense of what it means to live in this lineage of photography’s paradox—to reduce and to exult. These photographs, the gift of a moment in time through a unique residency, show us where a future path may lead.”
