Photography & Politics

How can images not only document political events but themselves be political acts? Question politics around them? React, subvert politics? Imagine a better world so it can be executed? Historically, artists reflect their contemporary moment. Photography & Politics is a nationally juried show by Stephanie Mercedes reflecting on how photographs can be pushed further.
