⁠
We'll be moving to a larger space in April 2023 and need your help to start us off strong as we create new opportunities for artists, students, and visitors to engage with outstanding photographic art.⁠

What does it mean to belong? What creates the feel

What does it mean to belong? What creates the feeling of belonging? ⁠
⁠
How can art make us feel part of something? How can it help us to connect with ourselves and others? ⁠
⁠
Come see how some seriously creative student artists express their experiences of belonging through photography in our exhibit Emerging Vision, juried by Yoav Friedlander and Dana Stirling of @float_magazine.⁠ ⁠
⁠
And feel free to drop a comment if you have any thoughts on these questions!⁠
⁠
⁠The Opening Reception for Emerging Vision is on Friday, December 2. This event is free and open to public from 6 - 9PM.⁠

Photography student Hajer Al-Eid (@hajer.aleid) at

Photography student Hajer Al-Eid (@hajer.aleid) at University of Nebraska Lincoln is just one of 22 talented artists showing in our exhibit Emerging Vision, which opens to the public on Friday, November 25th.⁠
⁠
These images are from her series Anti-Upbringing, representing the ideology and mindset Hajer was raised in, inclusive of her perspective on it. ⁠
⁠
"The ideology stems from Middle Eastern values, which do not represent or correlate with Islamic values. What people within this culture see as the ’proper’ or ‘common’ upbringing is in all actuality an anti-upbringing of their children."⁠
⁠
Come explore Hajer's work and all of the students. We will be closed Wednesday 11/23 and Thursday 11/24, but look forward to seeing you on Friday!⁠
⁠

Meet the jurors of Emerging Vision, @yoavfriedland

Meet the jurors of Emerging Vision, @yoavfriedlander and @dana_stirling! ⁠
⁠
Originally from Israel, Yoav and Dana are now based in New York City. They both received their MFA from the School of Visual Arts in Photography, and Related Media. Together they founded Float Photo Magazine (@float_magazine), with the goal "...to share and celebrate the photographic work of a versatile roster of contemporary photographers from around the world."⁠
⁠
Together they selected images by 22 talented photography students from universities located throughout the US and abroad.⁠
⁠
For Yoav and Dana, "Even though there was no specific theme, this collection of images, all together, tell a story of a collective who are inspired by the world around them and the people they are close to. Images of nature, family members or self-portraiture that examine what it is to be in these times through their eyes and their lenses."⁠
⁠
Emerging Vision opens next Friday, November 25th and will be on display through January 7th, 2023. ⁠
