March 25 - April 30, 2025
From SP/N Gallery:
“There’s power in the collective demand to be seen, to be dignified as human, especially in photographs, when lopsided histories can be righted, and new stories can rise from the ashes of erasure. Representing oneself through pictures, when agency and authority lie solely with the imagemaker, makes the demand to be seen an act of bravery—What if my likeness is rejected, or worse, denied?—and an act of refusal—I will not let anyone else determine my existence. I am who I show you I am. The gift of visibility also extends to photographs, highlighting the intimate relationship between the photographer, the subject, and the viewer, too, who bears witness after the fact. And that’s what the photographs in Family Photos are: invitations. A selection of thirty images from the Comer Collection of Photography at the University of Texas at Dallas, curated by Director Diane Durant, will be on view in the SP/N Gallery March 25 – April 30, with an opening reception on March 28, 6:30 – 8:30. Attendees are encouraged to bring shelf-stable food items to be collected throughout the run of the show which will be donated to Synergy Wesley, a non-profit organization that welcomes and affirms all students from UT Dallas, Collin College, and Dallas College.”
