The Open Society Documentary Photography Project is pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition, Here We Are: Visual Resistance and Reclaiming Narratives, the 24th iteration of Open Society’s ongoing Moving Walls exhibition series.
Here We Are brings together 10 individual and collective artists, journalists, documentarians, and advocates who engage with art and documentary practice as forms of resistance. Together they confront and challenge our understanding of past trauma, present-day realities, and future possibilities within the context of race, religion, sexuality, political and economic repression, and colonial history.
- Dread Scott (b. 1965, United States) will exhibit “in this society, on this earth, in this day,” a presentation of two bodies of work, Stop and On the Impossibility of Freedom in a Country Founded on Slavery and Genocide. His grant will support Slave Rebellion Reenactment, a conceptual, community-engaged performance involving hundreds of reenactors restaging and reinterpreting Louisiana’s German Coast Uprising of 1811, the largest rebellion of enslaved people in North American history.
