What Does Democracy Look Like?, MoCP

My photograph, Ground Bomb, Winter Blast, Arizona from the series This Land is Your Land (2002), is included in the upcoming exhibition “What Does Democracy Look Like?” at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, which runs from October 1 through December 23 2020. For this exhibition, the MoCP invited seven Columbia College Chicago professors from various departments to use the museum’s permanent collection to respond to the questions of what democracy means to them, while considering photography’s relationship to current and historical events.
