Identity Maps: Juried Photography Exhibition features 48 photo-based works that explore dynamic interplays between identity, community, and place, selected by the juror, Amy Sacka. The 26 artists explored the theme through a variety of approaches, including digital, analog, mixed media, and cyanotype photography.
The juror, Amy Sacka, is an award-winning documentary photographer and writer based in Detroit, Michigan. Her work celebrates the culture and environment of Detroit and the Great Lakes at large. Amy’s work unearths important insights into Midwestern identity and the meaning of home.
The poet Elizabeth Brewster wrote: “People are made of places”, and as we know, places are also transformed and inflected by people. Photo-based art has engaged with this theme since the 19th century.
