Being Seen: Recent Acquisitions from The Ringling’s Photography Collection
Wednesday, Apr 15 @ 5:30-9:00 PM
Please join us for a special evening with Ringling Curators, Christopher Jones, Stanton B. and Nancy W. Kaplan Curator of Photography and Media Art, and Ola Wlusek, Keith D. and Linda L. Monda Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art.
Curated from The Ringling’s photography collection, this exhibition features works by photographers who examine the complexities of identity. Consisting primarily of self-portraits and portraits of empowered subjects, these works explore personal agency at the intersection of politics and the representation of the female body. Each photograph presents a unique invitation to renew the dialogue on the authority of the gaze in twentieth-first century.
This exhibition is part of Art of Our Time and is supported, in part, by Gulf Coast Community Foundation and sponsored by the Herald-Tribune Media Group.

Monda Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art invite you to join us for this special opportunity to meet the artists, curators and executive staff, from our neighboring museums, who made this exhibition possible.
