The Colorado Photographic Arts Center stands in solidarity with the protests occurring in our community, the nation, and around the world. We are saddened and angered by the deaths of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and too many other lives lost to racist violence.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Our mission is to foster the understanding and appreciation of photography through exhibitions, education, and community outreach. We are committed to equality and to continuing our work to amplify the voices of underrepresented artists, including black Americans.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
At this moment, photographer and CPAC member Alex Yvens Saintil is on the front lines of the protests here in Denver. In Alex's words, "...this time, my weapon is my camera, and my brothers are the thousands of citizens who have had enough. Black, White, Hispanic, or Asian...We don’t want any more excuses, we want accountability—we want justice!"⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Alex has generously shared some images from his ongoing series, Unrest in Denver. You can see more of his work @alex_shootz and on his website at alexshootz.com/unrestindenver.⁠

CPAC congratulates all the photographers selected for Distanced Perspective! ⁠
⁠
As curator Samantha Johnston, Executive Director of CPAC, viewed each image, she thought a lot about the power of art and how it can bring people together during these unprecedented times. ⁠⁠
⁠
"This pandemic has affected all of us in profound ways. All over the world, people are experiencing challenges and hardships, as well as moments of kindness and beauty. Distanced Perspective is another way we can share these moments and move forward together as a community." ⁠
