 action & events Exhibit: Looking Back, Moving Forward (Jan 3rd-31st)
Runs January 3rd, 2009, until end of January at the Black Dog Cafe in Lowertown, St. Paul. 20% of photo exhibition sales go to the RNC 8 Legal Fund. Benefit reception on January 21st with Junkyard Empire and Pocket of Resistance. INTRODUCTION The premise of the LOOKING BACK, MOVING FORWARD exhibit is to offer a community space where people can leave behind, access, or take home as evidence a wide variety of frozen photographic moments from the Republican National Convention that took place in St. Paul, MN in September 2008.
The HERE IS NEW YORK exhibit was subtitled "A Democracy of Photographs" because anyone and everyone who had taken pictures relating to the tragedy was invited to submit their images to the gallery, to be displayed on the walls alongside the work of top photojournalists and other professional photographers. Photos taken by children with watch cameras, and by police officers and firefighters on the job with pocket digital cameras, appeared alongside images taken by by New York Times photojournalists.
